You want to do a bunch of async HTTP calls, and when they're all
complete (including possibly some tryLaters), then you finish the entire
thing?  I don't really see the problem...  can't you just create a queue
(a la url-queue), or if you want to do all the calls in parallel, just
create a structure all the threads fill in and the last one that
finishes does the "complete" action?
