The server had no error but the connect() of libcurl fails and error
is WSAEADDRINUSE (Address already in use).

The documentation of WSAEADDRINUSE is:
The socket's local address is already in use and the socket was not
marked to allow address reuse with SO_REUSEADDR. This error usually
occurs when executing bind, but could be delayed until the connect
function if the bind was to a wildcard address (INADDR_ANY or
in6addr_any) for the local IP address. A specific address needs to be
implicitly bound by the connect function.
