Cancel a download and close the socket are two indepdendent actions.

Cancel: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/faq.html#How_do_I_stop_an_ongoing_transfe

Close: http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/curl_easy_cleanup.html

In general you don't need to worry about the closing, as long as you just use
the API as intended.
