Ruby HttpClient async

H开发者_开发技巧ello stack overflow people.

Does someone know of a code example to make the ruby httpclient do an async post? It has a method but it looks like it just gives you a connection back you have to keep checking, which I assume would still be blocking. I did not see a way to "fire and forget" or just pass a method that it could call later in a separate thread while the rest of my code kept running.

thanks, craig

This sounds like you're programming in evented style. Maybe you are even using eventmachine? You don't say so, but in the case you do, this project: https://github.com/eventmachine/em-http-request will let you do something close:

EventMachine.run {
  http = EventMachine::HttpRequest.new('http://127.0.0.1/').get :query => {'keyname' => 'value'}

  http.callback {
    p http.response_header.status
    p http.response_header
    p http.response

    EventMachine.stop
  }
}
