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.
