They could be but the use of curl_easy_reset (which is just outside the
context of this patch I'm noticing, sorry) will cause anything we
initialize the handle with on creation to be reset anyway.
All the calls using the handle lock the mon and then do a
curl_easy_reset on the handle prior to use.
I still understand the dislike for having the handle with potentially
bad pointers in it though. Another option would just be having the
handle exist on the stack though we then lose the live connections but
that wouldn't be an issue for this use case.
Thoughts?
