Because if you use one handle in each thread, all threads can run and perform
independently of the others. That is thread safe behavior.

If you feel a need to share the same handle in multiple threads, then please
join the effort to bring mutexes and thread-sharable data to libcurl. Noel
Byron is doing some serious work in that area, as can be read in the mails
recently posted, that are archived from here:
