----------------------------------------
The following code snippet works as expected on linux (it returns "false"):

~~~ruby
require 'net/http'

http = Net::HTTP.new('192.168.111.21', 8080)
http.start
socket = http.instance_variable_get(:@socket).io
socket.getsockopt(Socket::SOL_SOCKET, Socket::SO_KEEPALIVE).bool
~~~

But on windows, it raises this error:

~~~
TypeError: size differ.  expected as sizeof(int)=4 but 1
        from (irb):8:in `bool'
        from (irb):8
        from irb:11:in `<main>'
~~~

(`TCPSocket.getsockopt().int` has the same problem.)


Digging a bit further, I noticed what `socket.getsockopt().data` returns is platform-specific, despite `Socket::Option.bool().data` being the same on both platforms.

On linux:

~~~ruby
socket.getsockopt(Socket::SOL_SOCKET, Socket::SO_KEEPALIVE).data
"\x00\x00\x00\x00"

Socket::Option.bool(:INET, :SOCKET, :KEEPALIVE, false).data
"\x00\x00\x00\x00"
~~~

On windows:

~~~ruby
socket.getsockopt(Socket::SOL_SOCKET, Socket::SO_KEEPALIVE).data
"\x00"

Socket::Option.bool(:INET, :SOCKET, :KEEPALIVE, false).data
"\x00\x00\x00\x00"
~~~

This might explain the `size differ.  expected as sizeof(int)=4 but 1` raised by `getsockopt()` ?
