17.1 Multiplexing
|
||||
|
||||
SSH is a perfectly fine multiplexed protocols which would allow libcurl to do
|
||||
multiple parallel transfers from the same host using the same connection,
|
||||
much in the same spirit as HTTP/2 does. libcurl however does not take
|
||||
advantage of that ability but will instead always create a new connection for
|
||||
new transfers even if an existing connection already exists to the host.
|
||||
|
||||
To fix this, libcurl would have to detect an existing connection and "attach"
|
||||
the new transfer to the existing one.
