 > Yeah, It needs to be called a few times whilst it processes the
 connection request at least. with multi_exec I'd want a shutdown hook to
 finalise the connection.

 Excellent idea.  [[attachment:18738-curl_multi.patch]] does this.  I've
 run this against the HTTP unit tests and there are no failures.  There are
 no tests that use the blocking flag, but this patch doesn't break
 anything.  And the output from the test script is:

 {{{
 Using curl
 5.303
 0.013

 Using fsockopen
 5.308
 0.162

 Using streams
 5.438
 5.448
 }}}
