However, IMHO this is a good decision, at least for pipelined HTTP hosts. (FTP/HTTP1.0 is a different matter.) As always with libwww, it's probably possible to play some dirty tricks to get around the limitation. For this, you somehow need to fool HTHost_new() into creating another host object. For example, it might be possible just to append "." to the hostname for a second connection.
