OK. Which exactly files with docs to be updated?

OK.

call it curl_multi_socket_action() ?

OK.

OK. I will try to put to connectdata object.

It doesn't really "scan for all", in the vast majority of all invokes it'll

Good. I will try to do it later.

Indeed. It is a more general and standalone issue. Still, fifty calls of
gettimeofday () for 9 chunks of data - is worth looking at.

Looking forward to the next release. Actually, curl-loader is due to provide
loading framework, which is now HTTP/S, FTP/S and later may be extended
to support ssh, scp and sftp new-comers.
