Experiments on request timeouts when a server isn't listening in different platforms

/*
What happens if there's no server listening when we do the request?
- win32: socket.on('timeout' fires and req.abort() fires req.on('error', e) with e.code === 'ECONNRESET'
- else:  req.on('error', e) fires imediately with e.code === 'ECONNREFUSED'
