I guess what I fail to understand is that why don't you need those resources
while the server is keeping the connection alive?

For possible re-use of the handle and connection?

- If so, why not just re-use the handle when you want that and just ignore if
   the connection had closed in between or not?

- If not, then you can just ignore the connected state and just close the
   handle unconditionally

Anyway, this is drifting and is actually no longer a libcurl topic. I'll drop
it here and leave you to do however you want! ;-)
