[#1303] reports an issue (now fixed) where libcurl would prune CURLOPT_RESOLVE entries after the DNS cache timeout had elapsed.
It looks like the patch is not complete, though. As of version [7.34.1-dev](https://github.com/bagder/curl/commit/0f46b3b3ddcf4fe0546477a1f09287ad358bb31e) entries are still being incorrectly removed in the following scenario:
- client starts the connection and server keeps it alive
- CURLOPT_DNS_CACHE_TIMEOUT elapses
- server kills the connection
- client starts a new request,  finds the connection to be dead and creates a new one
The attached program is basically the same one attached to bug report [#1303], except it connects to a server which keeps the connection alive for a short time (debian.org), instead of the other one, which always signaled the client to close it.
Here's the output:
