Sorry
Using version: curl-7.34.0

Yes thats true.

I get an event.
My socket function (CURLMOPT_SOCKETFUNCTION) gets called with the action
parameter "1" and then i call "boost::socket.:async_write" to wait for
write readiness.
After that curl calls my timeout function and I set my timer.
curl::mulit - onCurlTimer: set new timer -> 224 ms

The timer timeouts and i call curl_multi_socket_action( CURL_SOCKET_TIMEOUT)

Curl is calling my timeout function again, but this time with timeout_ms
"-1" so i wont register a new timer.

Then I have no reaason to call the socket_action again because i have no
timeout set and my "boost::socket.:async_write" does not complete.
This is why I asked if it could be "asio" fault because it wont trigger
an error if the socket it is using in the async_write call is not connected.

Sorry there was a typo.
I call "boost::socket.:async_write" to get informed when curl can write
to the socket. But it seems that this function wont trigger an error if
the socket it uses is not connected.

If I multiply the first timeout value ( 224ms ) with 10 and register a
the timer with 2240 ms, the easy handle completes and I get the correct
error: "connect to 127.0.0.1 port 80 failed: Connection refused".
