Hi,

The reason for my question is that on Win CE we are setting the local
port. We have only 2 ports available to us. So we want to keep a port
open all thru the connection. If Winsock releases a socket, reconnecting
on the same local port has a 3 minute delay that we want to avoid. So we
basically want to say we have connected here at the start of the session
and keep that going until we exit the application. If I use just one
CURL structure and init it at the start and do the cleanup at the end -
will I be using just one socket all thru - since we will specify the
local port using the CURLOPTs?

Thanks,
Sonia.

Sockets are created and when needed. And closed when no longer needed.

No, there's no way for users to control that. Why would you want that?
And if
if would work, how would you suggest it would be done?
