The problem here is of course that when mstate was just
set to CURLM_STATE_DO but not processed yet (as is the case when we're
testing for timeouts), then no data has been sent.
Looking at the state machine (switch) for case CURLM_STATE_DO: it seems
to me that it is impossible to leave the state machine in the same
state and still be running (it can end with setting an error and
disconnect_conn). In that case we can still use mstate instead of a new
variable, but we simply have to look for mstate > CURLM_STATE_DO to
know if data was already sent.
Attached a new patch. I went ahead and also fixed this test in
curl_multi_remove_handle and then that whole function by removing the
silly pipeline test and fixing easy_owns_conn, as mentioned on IRC;
that part then fixes the correct closing of a connection when the user
calls curl_multi_remove_handle() before a transaction finished, which
is very much like the timeout.
