Http post is async or sync?

ruby-talk
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.

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.)

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.)
