This seems like a bug. It should really return CURLE_COULDNT_CONNECT (7) or
something like that. I'm looking into a fix for that.

No you cannot change what libcurl will return there. But since you pass in a
custom pointer to your callback, you can for example pass in a variable that
tell your parent function what the reason for the failure truly was.

Something like this psuedo code approach:

int socketfunc(..., void *userp)
{
   int *value = (int *)userp;

   *value = I_THINK_THE_USER_IS_SILLY;
}

reason = 0;
curl_easy_setopt(easy, CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETDATA, &reason);

ret = curl_easy_perform();

if (ret) {
   if(reason == I_THINK_THE_USER_IS_SILLY) {
     /* my callback thinks the user is silly */
     ...
   }

}
