1. I have written a code [1] to download 2 files at a time (multiplexed using 2 streams). And i intend to download 100 total files. Can you verify if i'm reusing the connection properly (concern as i use curl_easy_init(); for each url). But this doc [2] says as long as i use the same multi handle i should be good.
I looks fine, and you can verify yourself by reading the verbose output as it states clearly when it reuses connections.
But I can also tell you that your program will busy-loop and use 100% CPU for as long as there are transfers going and that is wasteful and ineffective. Don't do curl_multi_perform() in a loop like that.
2. I also need to identify the api which requests chunks of data (so that not all response data is written to the memory at the same time, but as multiple of chunks).
CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION is the *only* API you can receive data with if you don't want to store it directly to a file. libcurl can't deliver data in any other way than piece by piece.
