Re: curl websockets

Thanks, Daniel.

Maybe this is a misunderstanding on my part, but I think (and my
testing seems to confirm) that CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY will stop at the
first connection to the first server encountered. If you have some
other http redirector in front of the ultimate server hosting the
websocket, or the websocket server returns 429 to indicate it's busy,
try again later, the app must then handle all this work (I think ... I
certainly could be wrong).

In my use cases, I'm generally asking libcurl to use HTTP to do
redirection and traffic reduction things with libcurl, then after the
"exciting bits" are done, I'd like to take ownership of the socket.
