You should be able to just call curl_multi_add_handle then curl_multi_add_handle. > 2. What is the maximum connections/second possible using multi-handle > ? . Is any other to achive maximum connections/second ? How fast is your computer? How fast is your network? The curl_multi approach is about the most efficient you can expect, since there is no overhead in thread switching. There's always room for improvement (e.g. the zero copy proposals that have been made over the years but never implemented because no-one could prove they would make a significant improvement) but libcurl is generally pretty efficient already. > 3.

You can see the mailing list archives for a few examples of what people have achieved using libcurl. I don't remember seeing numbers quite so large, but most people on the list are limited to CPUs with core numbered merely in the double digits :^) >>> Dan ------------------------------------------------------------------- List admin: http://cool.haxx.se/list/listinfo/curl-library Etiquette: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/etiquette.html
