libcurl

I am writing a simple REST service, which responds to requests from clients. All in PHP.

My concern is, that when my server responds to a request, it could end up tying up resources if the client side is too slow in sending back "ok" response.

How do I send a POST request via lib_curl setting it to not wait for any responses, but rather quit immidiately after the POST data have been sent?

Is this even possible? Thank you !
