Attached is an attempt at a sample program that creates 2 threads each
with an easy handle that is added to the global multi handle. It uses libuv
for socket event handling.

Each thread is supposed to continuously fetch data from an external server
(see http_get() thread function).

However, currently the 2 threads each fetch data from the external server
once and then nothing further happens. In case of CURL_POLL_REMOVE, I
ensure that uv_close is not called, so that further events on the socket
can be detected.

How can I make the external GET a continuous activity on the easy handle?

Thanks
Raj
