As Kee hints, perhaps a little obscurely: although LiveCode doesn't have the 
capability for true multithreading in general, network operations don't 
necessarily block (in fact even when using the supposedly blocking forms I 
find that it sometimes behaves in undesirably multithreaded ways).

So in this particular instance you should indeed be able to perform multiple 
HTTP post operations and process them 'simultaneously'; but you may have to 
exercise some care to manage and separate the 'threads'.
