Now things become clearer. I conclude what I have understand: A
"connection" is an established socket connection (persistent
connection) which may be re-used. libCurl opens as many connections as
it needs for processing all easy handles added at a certain time. After
an easy handles finishes, its connection is closed if the connection
cache limit CURLMOPT_MAXCONNECTS is reached. Otherwise that connection
is added to the cache and is re-used when possible. Is that correct ?
