Hi!

Do note that the curl-library is a mailing list suitable for libcurl stuff, as

No there isn't. The connection pool is meant to only serve as a cache and it
is meant to close off and remove dead connections by itself.

The only existing way I can think of to flush all connections is to close the
easy/multi handle completely and create a new one.

It makes no point to "re-prime" it at all if you ask me. It'll just be a bunch
of connections in use that may not be used at all and that may even be killed
again before they will be used...

Now, please take any follow-ups to the curl-library list!
