I mean HTTP pipelining. That's the main feature (not easily worked-around)
I've read people mention to be missed when they've discussed moving from
libwww to libcurl.

I don't know any libwww internals so I can't say anything about its
architecture. libcurl supports "asynchronous behaviour in a single threaded
environment" with its multi interface, I don't know how it compares to
libwww's approach.
