Thanks for the reply.

From my current need, what I'm looking for is a API that allows me to do
something like this:

1) prepare some sort of container (array/stack/queue/list, whatever) for N
URIs that I want pipelined
2) for (i=0; i<N; ++i) { prepare request_container[i] }
3) call the equivalent of curl_easy_perform on the container, which
returns a N element container of responses
4) for (i=0; i<N; ++i) { deal with response_container[i] }
5) destroy both containers

In our specific application, N is actually pretty small - more than 6 or 8
pipelined requests don't really improve performance.

Is there a (vague) timeframe when you plan to add this? I'd hate to have
to learn libwww :-)

Short answer: no.
I'm open for ideas and suggestions on how this can be added to libcurl. 
I've
touched the subject before in various mails regarding mixed ideas, but so 
far
we have no code and no actual implementation proposal of how it would be
added...
