First it depends on the socket type but might use a select call, secondable
raise on a socket.error, thirdable you could call the close_handle with the
message and let the guys if he would like to retry, network connection might
be capricious especially for client connected through a wifi network or
behind some firewall blocking port

the asyncchat is a looper if you don't let him catch the exception you just
create an infinite loop, this API needs a stronger model.
