[asterisk-dev] asterisk curl function and socket keep alive

Don't start a new thread just because you didn't get the answer you want within a day. It isn't going to help. You also were talking with the author of func_curl. He gave you the reason "because it is the default" and suggested that the only reason it hasn't been changed is because no one had submitted a suitable patch to change the functionality.

Also, it looks like a weird combination of private conversation and mailing list posting. It gets a little confusing.
