Thanks for the quick response. This is what happening in my case.

I am using HTTP 1.1 persistent connections. when I call
curl_multi_perform(), client is sending the POST request to HTTP server and
I am getting the response back. In my case response doesnt have body and
headers. Response just has the status line. Response I received is "HTTP/1.1
200 OK\r\n\r\n". Even though curl_multi_perform() call is giving me the
complete response (In my case just status line), running_handles is not
getting set to 0. Its still 1 after this call.
Can anyone please let me know what might be going wrong? OR is there a bug
in curl with persistent connection and receiving just status line.

I have tested with both curl-7.15.0 and curl-7.16.0.

Thanks for your comments
