Unable to share session across threads. about patron HOT 6 CLOSED

After applying the patch in #73, The error is more generic:

/Users/jacobmorris/Projects/patron_test/patron/lib/patron/session.rb:230:in `handle_request': Patron::Error
    from /Users/jacobmorris/Projects/patron_test/patron/lib/patron/session.rb:230:in `request'
    from /Users/jacobmorris/Projects/patron_test/patron/lib/patron/session.rb:129:in `get'
    from patron_test.rb:11:in `block (2 levels) in do_raw_patron_test'

from patron.

This still appears to be an issue

Would it be a good thing to just note that a Session is not meant to be shared between threads? IMO, a CURL handle is something that should be subject to an explicit external resource pooling, instead of providing built-in thread safety guarantees.

@totallymike would that work if the threading behavior would be documented?

I suspect that would help quite a bit. It's been some time since I've worked on the project in which I used patron, so I've lost a bit of context.

There is now a section in the README describing the recommended approach to multithreading, and it advizes the usage of connection_pool, which should work fine. Thank you for your report!
