How to make an async POST request in Ruby using RestClient

Question

Can we make an asynchronous POST request to a resource in Ruby using the RestClient library ( https://github.com/archiloque/rest-client )?

Answer 1

If by "asyncronous POST request" you mean "fire-and-forget" kind of request, then you can execute it on another thread.

Thread.new do
  # do your request here
end

Note, however, that not all Ruby implementations use real concurrent threads. See this topic for more details.

Answer 2

Using 'send_later' of Resque should be a better option.
