connection pooling?
Date: Mon, 07 Jan 2002 14:25:58 -0500
Hi all-
The doco from curl_easy_perform() promotes yet cautions against concurrent
use of curl instance returned from curl_easy_init().
Is there any supporting code out there for pooling connections?
Thanks.

//////////////////////////////////////////////
the following from curl_easy_perform() docs...
//////////////////////////////////////////////
This function is called after the init and all the
curl_easy_setopt() calls are made, and will perform the
transfer as described in the options. It must be called
with the same handle as input as the curl_easy_init call
returned.
libcurl version 7.7 or later (for older versions see below):
You can do any amount of calls to curl_easy_perform() while
using the same handle. If you intend to transfer more than
one file, you are even encouraged to do so. libcurl will
then attempt to re-use the same connection for the following
transfers, thus making the operations faster, less CPU
intense and using less network resources. Just note that you
will have to use curl_easy_setopt between the invokes to set
options for the following curl_easy_perform.
You must never call this function simultaneously from two
places using the same handle. Let the function return first
before invoking it another time. If you want parallel trans
fers, you must use several curl handles.
Before libcurl version 7.7: You are only allowed to call
this function once using the same handle. If you want to do
repeated calls, you must call curl_easy_cleanup and
curl_easy_init again first.
