Hi everyone, I'm testing the following program (replace URL by something real):

#include <stddef.h>

#include "curl/curl.h"

#define URL "http://some-url.com/test"

static void send_request(CURL *const curl)
{
    curl_easy_reset(curl);

    curl_mime *const mime = curl_mime_init(curl);

    if (mime != NULL)
    {
        long int code;

        curl_mimepart *const part = curl_mime_addpart(mime);

        if (part != NULL &&
            curl_mime_name(part, "file") == CURLE_OK &&
            curl_mime_filedata(part, "content.json") == CURLE_OK &&
            curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, URL) == CURLE_OK &&
            curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_MIMEPOST, mime) == CURLE_OK &&
            curl_easy_perform(curl) == CURLE_OK &&
            curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_RESPONSE_CODE, &code) == CURLE_OK)
        {
            printf("Status code: %ld\n", code);
        }
        else
        {
            puts("Error when building request");
        }

        curl_mime_free(mime);
    }
    else
    {
        puts("Error when building MIME");
    }
}

int main(void)
{
    CURL *const curl = curl_easy_init();

    if (curl != NULL)
    {
        send_request(curl);
        send_request(curl);

        curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
    }
    else
    {
        puts("Error when building curl handle");
    }

    return 0;
}

When I run this, Valgrind shows the following:

I'm concerned about the lost blocks here. Am I missing a cleanup?
