  same connection. The only available way to do multiple requests is to
  init/perform/cleanup for each request.

  5.4 Does libcurl do Winsock initing on win32 systems?

  No.

  On win32 systems, you need to init the winsock stuff manually, libcurl will
  not do that for you. WSAStartup() and WSACleanup() should be used
  accordingly. The reason for this is of course that a single application may
  use several different libraries and parts, and there's no reason for every
  single library to do this.
