CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY connections should never be reused, period. By handing
over the control of the connection to "outsiders" makes it impossible to do
reliably (because curl no longer knows what was sent/received or the state of
it). I think that if such a connection is considered for reuse as you say it
is, that's a bug.

Can you help us write up an example that reproduces this?
