This is a bit more tricky than it seems - socket API (I mean, Linux/Win32, not U++ encapsulation) is highly optimized and queued, for example Connect just starts connection to the port, without actually finishing it - and OS might detect that to connection is not available a couple of operations later.

Anyway, I have tried and this seems to work:

	TcpSocket socket;
	for(int i = 1; i < 120; i++)
		LOG(i << ' ' << (socket.Timeout(2000).Connect(url, i) && socket.Wait(WAIT_WRITE) && socket.Put("\n") == 1));

Please note that scanning ports is generally considered as form of attack...
