Try to reinstall php5-curl
from the official Ubuntu 10.04 repository.
The output of php5 -i
(when php5-cli
and php5-curl
are installed) states it supports SSL:
cURL support => enabled
cURL Information => 7.19.7
Age => 3
Features
AsynchDNS => No
Debug => No
GSS-Negotiate => Yes
IDN => Yes
IPv6 => Yes
Largefile => Yes
NTLM => Yes
SPNEGO => No
SSL => Yes
SSPI => No
krb4 => No
libz => Yes
CharConv => No
Protocols => tftp, ftp, telnet, dict, ldap, ldaps, http, file, https, ftps
Host => x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
SSL Version => OpenSSL/0.9.8k
ZLib Version => 1.2.3.3
Since your output contains another version of libcurl
you might want to check what distribution is actually running on your office server.
curl already uses keepalive by default.
As an example:
curl -v http://www.google.com http://www.google.com
Produces the following:
* About to connect() to www.google.com port 80 (#0)
* Trying 74.125.39.99... connected
* Connected to www.google.com (74.125.39.99) port 80 (#0)

This snippet:
* Connection #0 to host www.google.com left intact
* Re-using existing connection! (#0) with host www.google.com
Indicates it re-used the same connection.
Use the same "curl -v http://my.server/url1 http://my.server/url2
" invocation against your server and check that you see the same message.
Consider using tcpdump instead of netstat to see how the packets are handled. netstat will only give you a momentary glimpse of what's happening, whereas with tcpdump you'll see every single packet involved. Another option is Wireshark.

AFAIK which libraries to use are compile time options and not something that can be changed at run-time.
