If you do the requests sequentially and if the protocol and server agree that
the connection can be re-used, then libcurl makes a best effort to re-use
connections within multi handles. It doesn't even matter if you use the same
easy handles or not, as the connection pool is kept outside of the easy
handles when the multi interface is used.

Don't use socket 0 as a dummy. That's a valid descriptor number for stdin so
you probably just confuse libcurl with it. To just trigger the timeout
actions, pass in CURL_SOCKET_TIMEOUT in the sockfd argument.
