Description
Right now the fsockopen transport request_multiple method is just a foreach loop with a serial request implementation.
Using stream_select and splitting the read and parse logic things can become parallel without using threads.

Research direction
Start at the fsockopen transport's request_multiple method, which currently performs requests serially, and read the related issues #266 and #53. Investigate how stream_select could coordinate concurrent reads while separating read and parse logic. Done means request_multiple handles multiple requests concurrently without threads and preserves correct response parsing.
