Option to close all active connections

Hello Everyone,

I am using libcurl-8.1.2 to send HTTP/2 requests to a remote server. I
have run into a scenario where the HTTP server temporarily stops responding.

The requests to the server eventually timeout. After the server starts
responding again, we have observed that

  * A  request sent with option CONNECT_ONLY is successful immediately
    after the server starts responding( Probably uses a new connection)

  * Request if sent with CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT, succeeds immediately
    after the server starts responding
  * Request if sent with CURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE also succeeds immediately
    after the server starts responding
  * However, request if sent without above flags tries to use old
    connection and still timeouts. The requests timeout till it sends
    back error 55.
  * Further requests then create a new connection and are successful.

My question: Is there a way to force drop all existing connections at
once? With CURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE the next request might reuse another
open connection which is something we do not want.


Thanks,

Shikha
