Set the URL then set CUSTOMREQUEST to be "DELETE".

libcurl only knows of data connected to its handle(s). Thus, it keeps no more
than CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS per handle. If you use many handles, then you can of
course get CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS connections for each handle.

Ultimately, the connection cache should be able to get shared between multiple
handles by using the share interface, but we don't have support for that
(yet). We can only share DNS and cookie data between handles this way, so far.
