Architecture: net.connect() and connection callbacks ...

@Gordon,
I'm afraid I'm not following the meat in post #8. In JavaScript (pseudo code), I want to execute something like:

esp8266.connect("IP", function(handle) {
      handle.send("Some data", function() {
          handle.close();
      }
});

This would request a connection ... when the connection is made, it would send some data ... and when the data has been sent ... perform a close of the connection. However, since the current base code invokes the connection callback immediately after asking for a connection ... this is before the connection has been formed and we are not yet ready to perform a send operation. In the ESP8266 world, the connection operation (at the ESP8266 SDK level) is always non blocking and one supplies a callback function pointer (in C) that will be invoked when the connection has been completed. It is then that I would have imagined that the net.connect() callback would have been ready to be called.

I'm not seeing how post #8 changes that story....?
