Ok, I switch to plain libcurl speak here as I'm not really familiar with
curlpp.

Yes, curl_easy_perform() is blocking and that's not configurable[1]. For
non-blocking requests, libcurl offers what we call the multi interface[2]. Of
course, you can also start new threads to run individual curl_easy_perform()
calls in to circumvent its blocking nature.
