I don't understand this statement. You already added the handle, what you mean
with "when it is executed again"?

curl_multi_socket_action() is of course called by you whenever there is
action to do on a specific socket that you monitor or when you deem that the
timeout has triggered. Right?

I don't get this either. You already added the handle, surely you'll just keep
transferring until curl_multi_info_read() tells you that the particular
transfer is complete?

I don't understand this description either. I think you should consider
providing us with a full example source code showing what you do and ideally
one that repeats the problem you have.

If that is really the case, it sounds like exceptionally slow machines
involved. Modern machines do SSL handshakes counted in milliseconds.

What exactly would that mean? libcurl will always do as much as it can without
blocking, then wait until it "gets permission" to try again and then continue
from there. Would would a "force" operation even be able to do?

Not if it can re-use an idle existing connection, no.
