Sending UDP packets, getting error "use of WriteTo with pre-connected UDP"

[Torrance Hodgson]

Hi all,

I would like to send UDP packets using (c *net.UDPConn).WriteToUDP([]byte), however I'm getting an error "use of WriteTo with pre-connected UDP".

Looking at the net package code, I can see it is checking whether (c *net.UDPConn).fd.isConnected and returning the error if true. I presume my UDP connection is 'connected' since I initialized the variable using UDPDial(), but I can't see how else to properly initialise the UDPConn to avoid this.

How can use WriteToUDP() without generating this error?

http://play.golang.org/p/ygGFr9oLpW may work, i'm very rust around he
semantics of connected and unconnected UDP sockets.
