On win32 systems, you need to init the winsock stuff manually, libcurl will
not do that for you. WSAStartup() and WSACleanup() should be used accordingly.
+
+Using libcurl 7.7 and later, you should perform all your sequential file
+transfers using the same curl handle. This enables libcurl to use persistant
+connections where possible.
.SH RETURN VALUE
If this function returns NULL, something went wrong and you cannot use the
other curl functions.
