1 - The code uses the multi_socket API but without CURLMOPT_TIMERFUNCTION.

I suspect that (1) is not fixable in current qemu. See my reasoning here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=971790#c21
Aha, yes without a timer the multi_socket API will be a bit tricky to take full advantage of.
Re (2) I tried to replace curl_multi_socket_all with curl_multi_perform, however that does not work AFAICT. It could be related to the other problem.
curl_multi_perform() is not event-based though so it is quite a different beast than curl_multi_socket_all() and you most likely will need to change some logic if you decide to switch function and paradigm.
The recommended API for event-based libcurl use, is to use curl_multi_socket_action() and only tell libcurl when there's activity on a specific file descriptor (or if there's a timeout).
