is lib-curl thread-safe?

This question was probably asked at some point, but I couldn't find a
FAQ around.. I was wondering, is libcurl thread-safe? I'de like to use
it to write some port monitoring code (http, https, ftp, ldap) to make
sure that certain sites are alive as well as doing simple transaction
monitoring (go to page x, then page y, then page z, and make sure that
page z has the expected results). I'm guessing that I'de monitor
something in the order of 500 "things" at a frequency of once a minute
and store timeing information. How "doable" is this with libcurl? I'm
guessing that I'de have to use threads or else fork off a lot of copies
to get the throughput I need. If libcurl isn't the right tool for
this, can anyone suggest another application or library that I can use
to construct it?

Thanks in advance,
Reza
