Hello,

I'm a new user to the curl library. I read the archives and saw that the
only way to have an asynchronous HTTP transfer with curl is to use the
multi interface.

I'm writing a wrapper that I'de like to be able to use as shown in the
following pseudo-code:

int reqId = wrapper.PerformRequest (an http request);

while (!wrapper.haveResults(reqId))
   process messages

Answer a = wrapper.GetAnswer(reqId);

....

It's very important that I am able to process messages because it
implies a screen refresh, and my requests might be long. I'm not able to
process messages in the write_data function.

If I use the multi interface with only one easy handle, will I be able
to have a this kind of behavior ? Will the curl_multi_perform() function
"cut" the transfer in small pieces ? A previous message told the
function is not blocking, but I don't see well how it behaves. Would
someone have a rough pseudo-code to provide ?

Thank you.
