I agree that it would be good to have a single HTTP interface but the
curl's handlers management done with the multi interface is really
different and even the API is not enough. Maybe we could have a module
offering two way of working: one using classic (single) easy handlers and
the other using multi interface and async processing. It would be a good
piece of work anyway :)

If it’s impossible, we should propably make a note that one should use one,

I agree also on updating the documentation (at least for the moment until
we find if there's a way to have a single module) and borrowing pv and
modparams from the CURL module :)
Thanks for the feedback!

Cheers,
