Subject: [PATCH] http: prevent segfault during curl handle reuse
Message-ID: <20060531232503.GC12261@reactrix.com>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20060531232503.GC12261%40reactrix.com

```
If a curl handle is configured with special options, they may reference
information that is freed after the request is complete which can cause
a segfault if the curl handle is reused for a different type of request.

This patch resets these options to a safe state when a transfer slot is
assigned to a new request.
