    Requests 4 Web pages via the CURL multi interface
    and checks if the HTTP status code is 200.

   Update: Fixed! The check for !numfds was the problem.

Hello, thanks for your example, but thiere is a bug on ending of main. You use curl_global_init(CURL_GLOBAL_ALL) but no curl_global_cleanup().
