Http post is async or sync?

Ruby
1

Hi,
I am using

Net::HTTP.post_form URI.parse(Url), { … }

in my application. But this slows the process, hence I was wondering if
this http call is synchronus or asynchronus? I couldn’t find any
information about it so any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Synchronous. But of course you could test this in IRB.

Thanks.How can I make an asynchronus call?

I don’t see any particular reason why threads wouldn’t work either.
(But I have not threaded around the HTTP API and there may be some
nuances.)

If you’re willing to rearrange your application, you can use
Ruby/EventMachine to make async HTTP calls. (SMTP, DNS, others are
supported
as well.)
