Can one first make 'default' easy handles then add them in a multi and when only needed add them a URL each? Do they have to be removed first?
An easy handle that has completed its service within a multi handle must be removed and added again to restart another request. The upside is that just removing and adding an easy handle is a fairly cheap operation.
How can one find if an easy handle is 'unused'?
You mean as in not already added to a multi handle? That's not possible to find out I believe, you just have to keep track of which ones you've already added and which you haven't.
The basic idea is that I want to have a MAX_URLS loop and a MAX_EASYS loop so that you loop through the URLs and add them to available easys only and it only warns if 'all easies are busy'.
It sounds like you're roughly thinking about an approach like the 10-at-a-time example: http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/10-at-a-time.html
