+ This document presents a mixture of ideas from at least:
+ - Daniel Stenberg
+ - Steve Dekorte
+ - Sterling Hughes
+ - Ben Greear
+
+ -------------------------------------------
+ GOALS
+
+ o Enable a "pull" interface. The application that uses libcurl decides where
+ and when to ask libcurl to get/send data.
+
+ o Enable multiple simultaneous transfers in the same thread without making it
+ complicated for the application.
+
+ o Enable the application to select() on its own file descriptors and curl's
+ file descriptors simultaneous easily.
+
+ Example sources using this interface is here: ../multi/
