You shouldn't need to. At least when you've also set a timeout
callback (as you really should but apparently don't), adding an easy
handle to the multi handle will directly trigger the callbacks.

If you don't set a timeout callback, that may not happen though. In
that case, you MUST poll curl_multi_timeout and set timeouts based on
that. This would probably be better than forcing a
curl_multi_socket_all call manually. You can't just ignore timeouts.
Either you set a callback, or you poll them. The callback is easier
to handle though, in my experience.
