Hi,
   I actually do it differently, and curl may not be what you need. We
maintain user login/passwords in a mysql database, and use the session()
function in PHP to maintain cookie sessions. If the session is too old, then
we make them log back in. It's what most sites do, in some sort or fashion.
Even if you were able to keep the connection open, the web server most likely
would kill the connection because the TTL is not that long.
