I don't think libcurl lets you disable it, but you could probably short-
circuit it by checking the socket from within your app. Before issuing the
new request, use the CURLINFO_LASTSOCKET curl_easy_getinfo option to
get the socket that was last used and check if it's still open yourself,
then issue the request accordingly.
