Yes and no.

Yes, that's basicly what libcurl allows you to do. Re-use the same handle to
do multiple operations, and then it'll automaticly use the one single
connection for a series of requests.

But (there's always a but!) I don't think the PHP binding is adjusted for
this and thus this can't be done (yet). Of course, nothing prevents you from
correcting this and thus let you enjoy sequental requests over persistent
connections.

Sterling (author of the PHP libcurl binding) himself should be able to
elaborate on this...
