+ * NAME curl_easy_duphandle()
+ *
+ * DESCRIPTION
+ *
+ * Creates a new curl session handle with the same options set for the handle
+ * passed in. Duplicating a handle could only be a matter of cloning data and
+ * options, internal state info and things like persistant connections cannot
+ * be transfered. It is useful in multithreaded applications when you can run
+ * curl_easy_duphandle() for each new thread to avoid a series of identical
+ * curl_easy_setopt() invokes in every thread.
