Plugin programming: HTTP post request while zapping makes the zap slow

Hi,

I'm implementing a plugin which posts data to an HTTPS url when the user moves from one service to another. The problem is that enigma2 displays the spinner and the zap action takes 2 or 3 seconds to finishes.

My implementation is as follow:

Current service -> Zap -> Call function sending HTTP post request ->New Service

Is there any thread like mechanism where the called function is executed in parallel with the zap action as follows:

Current service->Zap->New service

                              ----->Call function sending HTTP post request

Thanks for your help.
