libevent as client

         Libevent is usually used as a server, but there are scenarios where it will be used as a client to fetch other services. Usually, libcurl can be used to fetch, but the entire thread will be in a waiting state. In this case, the libevent client mode can be used to make the request completely asynchronous. .
