Hi Daniel

I saw my last message looks strange if I look at it in the archives
(http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2015-07/0145.html), as the patch seems to
be detached from the mail. I used "git format-patch" to generate the
patch but I don't understand how this could happen. It looks ok with my
other clients and in the gmane archive though
(http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.curl.library/46025). So
apologies if my patch messed something up.

Anyway do you have any comment on my patch
(0001-getconnectinfo-also-retrieves-active-connection.patch)?
To clarify, I started with the mentioned pull request, but saw that the
behaviour what you get from curl_get_info(... CURLINFO_LASTSOCKET ...)
is quite different between the easy and multi interface. So I tried to
adapt the code in a way that the behaviour should be nearly the same.
The function now returns the last used or the current connection. This
is what the test1532 tries to demonstrate.

Note, before it was possible to retrieve the connection that was used in
the previous request while the easy-handle is already being used with a
new connection. This would be no longer possible now, but I think this
was more unexpected behaviour and worked only with the easy-interface.
eg LASTSOCKET had to be retrieved inside a callback function while
easy-perform() is in progress.

cheers, Frank
