Your method is quite an overkill for libcurl use. At least since 7.16.0.

libcurl itself has a connection cache that is kept in the multi handle so it
keeps connections alive after use and easy handles can pick and re-use one of
them in the cache when you want a transfer done. The connection cache is
separate from the easy handles, so you can create a brand new easy handle but
still re-use a connection used by a previous handle that you've closed.

You can bounce around the handles in as many threads as you like but you MUST
NEVER EVER use them in more than one thread simultaneously.
