As you found out, calling error() at random points in time doesn't give useful information, you get the last error that was ever set, even after 10 successful calls following the call that had an error.</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">Calling setError ourselves is a workaround, which doesn't fit with the Qt socket API (there is no "No error" error code).
UnknownSocketError <em style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: normal;">means</em> error, it doesn't mean no error.</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">It seems to me (from the description, I didn't read the code attentively) that the right solution is to actually disconnect after a RemoteHostClosedError. Then the state won't be ConnectedState anymore, and isConnected() will work as intended :-)</p></pre>

Of you mean this in connection with the above hack?</p></pre>

Apart from settings that may reasonably be persistent like e.g. proxy or buffer size settings, a new connection should behave exactly the same as deleting and recreating the socket. Otherwise the API effectively requires you to delete and recreate a socket to get a clean state, which isn't very nice in such a widely used API. (I sometimes do this in internal interfaces, it's a nice technique to avoid errors in reset and clean up code paths - but it causes a little overhead and more work for consumers)
Since the check here is for a specific error code, UnknownError works as a code that isn't that specific one. And if we hack the error code reset, we have what we need. I consider that self defense against bad API, not a real hack.</p></pre>

So definitely not calling error() in isConnected(), but only after specific API calls that return false.</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">Albert: if we disconnect, then state() == ConnectedState will be false, and therefore isConnected will return false, as intended.
No need to call error() in that method.</p></pre>

<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">So make ::isConnected also check for RemoteHostClosedError.</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">This has the consequence that we have to create/delete the socket since Qt sockets have no way to reset their error state so if we want to reuse the slave to connect again it will never work with the same socket since it will always say RemoteHostClosedError.</p>
