>Please note that curl_multi_wait is not a blocking call in every case. It will block only until a network activity is detected (in recv case) or network activity is possible (in send case). Please see http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/curl_multi_wait.html.

>curl_multi_wait internally uses a poll/select call on the active sockets and indirectly monitors the sockets in the handle.

My bad, sorry (lesson I learned - never trust the function name to tell the whole story, instead - read the manual…).
