I have not had much success in using libURL for put requests that are
non-blocking. However, I have recently thought of taking most of my
'serious businesss' http calls to CURL. I have a libCURL library from
someone somewhere (the late mark smith's?).

In the dictionary, it says that this is a blocking operation, so if for some reason the site is not available there could be a delay while the app waits for a response. The dictionary says to use libURLftpUpload instead for a non-blocking operation. Does anyone know if this can be used in the same way to accomplish a "PUT"?

I found a neat web site (urbanairship.com) that has a server set up for sending push notifications to mobile devices. As far as I can tell, it's free to use. I'm still researching the details. Does anyone know anything about them?

I haven't really done much of this kind of thing before. I'm sure it's easy, and will probably be obvious, but I'm not finding anything in the docs.
