I'm sorry, I didn't read your posted test-program properly. I had a look now
and the problem is that you do multiple curl_easy_perform() calls on the same
handle, which libcurl really don't support (as of now).

You need to cleanup()+init() between each perform().

Yes. I intend to add support for persistant connections. I need volounteers
to help me with it.

No, the header byte count is reset before each new connection is made.

Control what? The header size counter?

libcurl uses TCP connections and you use read() to get data from such (at
least you do in unix).
