Publish-Subscribe Support

I am just getting oriented to libcurl but have already successfully been
able to communicate with a web server via your library.
What I wish to implement using your API is the ability to receive
asynchronously data being published from a remote host running a program
built and maintained by another company. It is the usual pub/sub
paradigm where I (client) first send a subscribe message to them (via
HTTP) and thereafter, as data becomes available, receive it on my side.
Is the libcurl API designed to support this and, if so, are there any
sample/example programs that I could use as a starting point (as in your
example folder)? Or is it that libcurl does not support
publish-subscribe and I need to go elsewhere. Of course, if the latter,
can you recommend another product?
 
Also is there a way to tell libcurl to listen on a specific port for
incoming HTTP traffic?
 
Thank you
