 * @example curl_easy_get.cc
 *
 * Why make Easy_ref_t RAII-less?
 *
 * It would simplify design of Easy_ref_t, since it doesn't need to
 * implement RAII-part logic.
 *
 * It would also make it easier to use member function of Easy_ref_t in Multi_t,
 * provided that libcurl callback provides CURL* and that option CURLOPT_PRIVATE 
 * which enables storing any object, isn't support until 7.10.3.
 *
 * Easy_ref_t's member function cannot be called in multiple threads simultaneously. 
 *
 * ### PERSISTENT CONNECTIONS
 *
 * Persistent connections means that libcurl can re-use the same connection for several transfers, 
 * if the conditions are right.
 * 
 * libcurl  will  always  attempt  to use persistent connections. It will by default, cache 5 connections.
 *
 * Whenever you use Easy_ref_t::perform or Multi::perform/Multi::socket_action, 
 * libcurl will attempt to use an existing connection to do the transfer, and if none exists it'll
 * open a new one that will be subject for re-use on a possible following call to these functions.
 * 
 * To allow libcurl to take full advantage of persistent connections, you should do 
 * as many of your file transfers as possible using the same handle.
 * 
 * If you use the easy interface, and the Easy_t get destroyed, all the possibly 
 * open connections held by libcurl will be closed and forgotten.
 * 
 * When you've created a multi handle and are using the multi interface, the connection pool is 
 * instead kept in the multi handle so closing and creating new easy handles to do transfers 
 * will not affect them. 
 * Instead all added easy handles can take advantage of the single shared pool.
 *
 * It can also be archieved by using curl::Share_base or curl::Share and 
 * enable_sharing(Share_base::Options::connection_cache).

     * ### Use of set_pause with multi_socket_action interface
     *
     * Before libcurl 7.32.0, when a specific handle was unpaused with this function, 
     * there was no particular forced rechecking or similar of the socket's state, 
     * which made the continuation of the transfer get delayed until next  multi-socket call invoke 
     * or even longer. 
     * <br>Alternatively, the user could forcibly call for example curl_multi_socket_all - 
     * with a rather hefty performance penalty.
     * 
     * Starting in libcurl 7.32.0, unpausing a transfer will schedule a timeout trigger for that handle 
     * 1 millisecond into the future, so that a curl_multi_socket_action( ... CURL_SOCKET_TIMEOUT) can be used 
     * immediately afterwards to get the transfer going again as desired.
     * 
     * If you use multi interface, you can use multi_socket_action to have a more in-detail
     * control of pausing the easy.
     *
     * ### MEMORY USE
     *
     * When pausing a read by returning the magic return code from a write callback, the read data 
     * is already in libcurl's internal buffers so it'll have to keep it in an allocated buffer 
     * until the reading is again unpaused using this function.
     *
     * If the downloaded data is compressed and is asked to get uncompressed automatically on download, 
     * libcurl will continue to uncompress the entire downloaded chunk and it will cache the data uncompressed. 
     * This has the side-effect that if you download something that is compressed a lot, it can result in a 
     * very large amount of data required to be allocated to be kept around during the pause. 
     *
     * This said, you should probably consider not using paused reading if you allow libcurl to 
     * uncompress data automatically.
