Memory leaks when doing many requests with the same client instance

[arnaud-lb]

Hi

When doing a lot of requests with the same Client instance, the php process consumes a lot of memory over time. I have php processes consuming 5GB right now.

Is this is known problem ?

There are known issues regarding memory leaks when using curl with CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER (e.g. ruflin/Elastica decided to use PHP output buffers instead). I'd recommend to switch this here, too

The bad hungry curl opt 'returntransfer' was replaced by the OB method.
