Colin,

Just a thought:  Could you run with threads?  If so, start a blocking reader
thread to mimic your async needs (using flags, sems, etc for IPC)?

Hi Colin,

I fixed the certificate problem, thanks for pointing this out.

I'm afraid we don't have that many examples for the usage of the 
asynchronous API. There are a few examples in the examples/ directory in 
the source code, some of which uses this API.

Regards,


Aris
