Hi Caspar,

unfortunately, you don't have threads available for developers in Palm OS 5 (except the sound thread). But you could periodically check the state of your net work connection during a nilEvent. You would then have to process the http response at your own. But this shouldn't be a great deal.

Regards
Henk

I recently bought the http lib form pdadevelopers.com, not realizing it
would use blocking functions.

For the application I'm working on it is absolutely necessary to have
asynchronous communication:
-       I post a request to a server and give control flow back to the
main loop of the app.
-       The request is processed in the background by a separate (OS -)
thread
-       As soon as a related event occurs a callback funtion is called

Is this possible on OS 5? For example using Bluetooth and a GPRS-phone?
Can anyone give me tips, pointers to sample programs, etc?

Thanks & regards,

Caspar
