I would urge you to start off by reading this:

         http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-multi.html

And when you think you've understood the basics, check out the multi-single.c
example which uses the multi interface to do a single request in a
non-blocking manner:

Only if you write your callback in a funny way. I would guess that it would
return rather swiftly in all cases.

Why call curl_formfree() on a NULL pointer at this point?
