+11.3 Disconnects don't do verbose
+
+ Due to how libcurl keeps connections alive in the "connection pool" after use
+ to potentially trascend the life-time of the initial easy handle that was
+ used to drive the transfer over that connection, it uses a *separate* and
+ internal easy handle when it shutd down the connection. That separate
+ connection might not have the exact same settings as the original easy
+ handle, and in particular it is often note-worthy that it doesn't have the
+ same VERBOSE and debug callbcaks setup so that an application will not get
+ the protocol data for the disconnect phase of a transfer the same way it got
+ all the other data.
+
+ This is because the orginal easy handle might have already been freed at that
+ point and the applicaiton might not at all be prepared that the callback
+ would get called again long after the handle was freed.
+
+ See for example https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/6995
