QTcpSocket.connectToHost doesn't work

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The follow code results in a "function not found match". 
var host = new QHostAddress("localhost");
var sock = new QTcpSocket();
var port = 25;
sock.connectToHost(host, port, QIODevice.ReadWrite);

It appears that its expecting a quint16, and fails when it doesn't receive one?

Note: this is a repost of issue #29 which was supposed to be fixed but it
is not (not in stable and not in the latest GIT version).

Hi, I have exactly the same problem! Using latest Amarok and its scripting 
engine, I cant connect using QTcpSocket.

executing this code:

var sock = new QTcpSocket(this);
var addr = QHostInfo.fromName("www.google.com").addresses();
var haddress = new QHostAddress(addr[0]);
sock.connectToHost(haddress, 80, QIODevice.ReadWrite);

gives this error:
Error: QAbstractSocket::connectToHost(): could not find a function match; 
candidates are:
connectToHost(QHostAddress address, unsigned short port, OpenMode mode)
connectToHost(String hostName, unsigned short port, OpenMode mode)

I wouldn't even try using sockets, but I need to send custom headers, so 
Downloader can't be used. It appears that I can't even do that using the 
QNetworkRequest because setRawHeader() does exactly nothing! But that's another 
issue which I'm gonna post now..
