+Starting with curl 7.7, curl will attempt to re-use connections for multiple
+file transfers, so that getting many files from the same server will not do
+multiple connects/handshakes. This improves speed. Of course this is only done
+on files specified on a single command line and cannot be used between
+separate curl invokes.
