Resetting the handle should put it into effectively the same state that it was
after the initial curl_easy_init(). That means that the code needs to set
every option necessary to get it ready for a curl_easy_perform. If some or most
options are the same from one use of the handle to the next, you can avoid
calling curl_easy_reset() and just set the options that are different from the
last operation (e.g. CURLOPT_URL).

If you're finding that the behaviour after a curl_easy_reset is different from
the behaviour after a curl_easy_init, then it's likely to be a bug in libcurl.
If you can post a snippet of code that shows this problem, we can look into it.
