title: Ruby HttpClient async
body: <p>Hello stack overflow people.</p>
  
  <p>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.</p>
  
  <p>thanks,
  craig</p>
