Description

libcurl would reuse a previously created connection even when some mTLS config

related option had been changed that should have prohibited reuse.

libcurl keeps previously used connections in a connection pool for subsequent

transfers to reuse if one of them matches the setup. However, some TLS

settings related to client certificates were left out from the configuration

match checks, making them match too easily. In particular options related to

the private key.
