Three questions:
1. Is it correct, that libcups doesn't need an explicit initialization, 
or, at least, its initialization code is internally protected, so it 
doesn't have a requirement to be initialized from the main thread of the 
main executable?
2. Is it correct, that libcups as HTTP client can be used on 
non-blocking manner with poll/select based event loop?
3. Is it correct, that libcups HTTP API allows asynchronous reading of 
the HTTP reply body?

I'm not very familiar with libcups, but my impression that all answers 
are "yes". Am I correct?
