Yes, and the last mail on this topic was just days ago (Nov 16).

The plan is that we support it like this:
1 - curl_easy_pause() can pause and unpause a single easy handle's transfer
2 - Both write and read callbacks get a new magic return code that they can
return instead of dealing with data, that then sets the connection in
paused mode.
No code has been written for this as of yet. I'll welcome all help that take
us in this direction!
