32 Pass a long. Set \fIclose\fP to 1 to make libcurl explicitly close the
33 connection when done with the transfer. Normally, libcurl keeps all
34 connections alive when done with one transfer in case a succeeding one follows
35 that can re-use them. This option should be used with caution and only if you
36 understand what it does as it can seriously impact performance.
38 Set to 0 to have libcurl keep the connection open for possible later re-use
