As soon as you close your application, the operating system will close and
reclaim all sockets, so there's no possible way to do exactly what you
ask. Instead, at the application level, you could keep track of where in
the transfer you are and save that in some nonvolatile storage at exit,
then restore the transfer at that point with CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM_LARGE
and CURLOPT_RANGE at the next restart to continue where you left off.
