You should probably call curl_multi_perform() while it returns
CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM, and then move on by calling select() on the file
descriptors returned by libcurl. Not the reverse.

Than I get new request to same server. I create data structure and gives

I'm not sure I understand you correctly, why are you adding an easy handle
to your multi handle after you have determined it's got new data to receive
on a running one? I believe what you are supposed to do is continue calling
curl_multi_perform().

  If the first request is still performing, it takes the secon request too

If the server closes your connection, libcurl will open a new one upon a new
request. If you are interested in pipelining requests, you may enable the
CURLMOPT_PIPELINING option (by setting it to a non-zero value) through
curl_multi_setopt() if you are running a libcurl version above 7.16.0.

Thanks for your advice
