Although the Note for this call says "Prior to PHP 8.0.0, this function was used to close the resource", I found that PHP 7.4.33 on CentOS is not closing the connection on curl_close.
The workaround if you want to make sure the connection closes immediately after the request is to set the curl option to forbid reuse:
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE, TRUE);
curl_close
(PHP 4 >= 4.0.2, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
curl_close — Close a cURL session
Description
Note:
This function has no effect. Prior to PHP 8.0.0, this function was used to close the resource.
Closes a cURL session and frees all resources. The cURL handle,
handle, is also deleted.
Return Values
No value is returned.
Changelog
| Version | Description |

handle expects a CurlHandle
instance now; previously, a resource was expected.
