You can't do PUT and POSTs without an event loop - the reason being the differences between HTTP/1.0 and HTTP/1.1. However, using the eventloop is not hard - try and look atthe sample apps described at http://www.w3.org/Library/Examples/ for example the POST sample uses the default libwww event loop.
