I'm not 100% sure what you mean, but if you're asking how to specify a port,
you can specify the port in the URL you pass to CURLOPT_URL:
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, http://www.mysite.com:90/index.html);

Libcurl itself does not create any threads (really, no library should ever
spawn its own threads). If you want to use multiple threads for easy
handles, then you have to handle the thread creation yourself. Remember,
each system has a different method for threading, there would be no way for
libcurl to do this for you.
http://curl.haxx.se/lxr/source/docs/examples/multithread.c provides a good
example of how to use libcurl with threads (pthreads in particular) to
accomplish multiple transfers at once.

As Daniel said, you can add easy handles between calls. I do just that in my
program and it works fine. The thing to remember with using the multi
interface though is it's up to you to manage the select() loop.
