A solution for your problem can be found in the source code of the
xmlrpc-c project which relies on libwww (see
http://xmlrpc-c.sourceforge.net/).

In the file xmlrpc_client.c, functions
xmlrpc_client_event_loop_run_general and timer_callback, the following
mechanism is used: First, before running HTEventList_newLoop a periodic
timer is created which times out in certain intervals (timer =
HTTimer_new ...). Then, the corresponding timer callback stops the
libwww event loop.
