wsock32 and ws2_32

[nouvakis 0]

I noticed that even if I require version 2, both dll are used.

in OverbyteIcsWinsockImpl.inc then only call to GetProc2 is for WSAIoctl and for almost everything else (besides IPV6) the GetProc is used (routines from wsock32 = version 1.1)

Is this the case ?

Why do you ask, what is your actual problem?  The low level stuff has not changed in many years, it just works.

Would't it be better if applications are depended only by one dll or loading just the ws2_32?

Windows applications are dependent on dozens of DLLs.  We don't change stuff that works unless new functionality is needed or newer versions of Windows make something obsolete, which is fortunately very, very rare.  But we have to change OpenSSL every couple of years because it's evolving with new standards and older versions are no longer supported.
