Hello,

Part of my test tool is a little loop code which takes 1..n URLs and
does a fetch of those, then sleeps for a time and starts over again.
Optionally I have added a means to reset either the cookie engine and/or
to "reset" the curl_handle. What I would basically do is the following:

for (;;) {
  sleep for_some_time;
  if (reset_cookie) {
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_COOKIELIST, "ALL");
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "");
  }
  if (reset_handle) {
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT, 1);
  }
}

With this I would like to simulate kind of a browser handling.
reset_cookie means we click on the Clear button in the Privacy Tab of a
Firefox browser, for example. And reset_handle should actually simulate
a browser that opens a new channel or more.

Reading the libcurl documentation this kind of stroke me as the most
correct way of doing it. However I still like to ask if my assumptions
are correct. Especially if the CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT really closes all
"cached" open connections?

Thanks and regards,
Roberto Nibali, ratz
