      A call to QAbstractSocketPrivate::resetSocketLayer() closes the socket and thus the binding is lost. QAbstractSocketPrivate::_q_connectToNextAddress() calls resetSocketLayer() again.

      If we replace

      this->socket->connectToHost(QLatin1String("aspmx.l.google.com."), 25);

      with

      this->socket->connectToHost(QLatin1String("173.194.65.26"), 25);

      the binding will still be lost but the picture will be different ("Transport endpoint is not connected" error will be gone and we will actually be able to connect to the host):

      The expected behavior is:

      • when connecting to the host by name:
        • we should not try to read from the not connected socket (resulting in "Transport endpoint is not connected" error)
        • socket binding must be preserved
        • we should eventually be able to connect to the host
      • when connecting to the host by IP:
        • socket binding must be preserved - QAbstractSocketPrivate::_q_connectToNextAddress() probably should not call resetSocketLayer()
