Then Squid is defenitely out of the question (the Squid code is not at all
thread-safe).

You seem to have covered the ones I have used, but there is a couple of other
libraries.
* KDE includes a communication framework for fetching content, including
HTTP/1.1 and many other protocols. This is most likely a threads-safe
environment.
* I think Gnome also includes such a library.
* Mozilla includes a HTTP library. Used by some applications. I don't know if
this is threaded or if it is using "Netscape Threads" psuedo-threading.
* If you want to program in Java then there is several libraries..
Freshmeat also lists several HTTP libraries..
