Re: Useful patch for Win32 / WSA errors

Now it's stuck because of open threads...

I'm new to gitlab. I could close the threads myself, at least there's a button. But I think the "netiquette" is to ask you to review it ...?

Hi, I am not a windows expert so I do not know if there is a better way to do that. But if it is helpful for you, it should be helpful for more of libssh users or developers so we would be happy to accept this as a MR on gitlab.

Thanks,

strerror_s() doesn't know WSA error numbers. One would actually need FormatMessage() for this purpose.
