You have probably not received an answer yet because you are top posting.

See the "Do Not Top-Post" and "Quoting" sections of:

TIME_WAIT is there for a reason and I don't think libcurl has any
control over it. Your TCP/IP stack might be able to control how long
connections stay in TIME_WAIT.

See http://docs.linux.cz/programming/c/sock-faq/unix-socket-faq-2.html#time_wait
for an explanation of TIME_WAIT.

See also section 3.5 of RFC 793 and also search for TIME-WAIT in that RFC.
