If you want to post messages from other threads, you should use message queues between the libevent http thread and the other threads. To pass a message to evhttp thread, add the message to the queue, and use event_activate() to wake up the event loop. In the event callback, pop messages from the queue and handle them (e.g. send http post request). You don't need the while loop around event_base_dispatch - it is your loop.
