Yes, but you probably don't want to do that anyway. I mean, how often do you
really manage to communicate with more than five different servers and get
back to them again without them having closed the connection anyway?

What in the docs made you draw this conclusion? It is wrong, and if you can
point out which lines in the docs that made you think this I could rephrase
them.

CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS is the maximum number of "open" connections one single
curl handle might use. No matter which protocol.
