Comment (by dd32):

 Even when using curl multi functions, there's still a few caveats,
 [http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-multi.html the following items] are
 run in a blocking mode:
  - Name resolves on non-windows unless c-ares is used
  - GnuTLS SSL connections
  - NSS SSL connections
  - Active FTP connections
  - HTTP proxy CONNECT operations
  - SOCKS proxy handshakes
  - file:// transfers
  - TELNET transfers
