I want to make HTTP requests to some server. Such that the following holds:

1. I want data to reach the server as soon as possible.
2. I don’t care much about getting the response from the server quickly. Instead, I want the request to block as little as possible.

If I only cared about 1. I would do:

```julia
HTTP.post(...)

```

But it is blocking, so bad for 2. If I only cared about 2. I would do

```julia
@async HTTP.post(...

```

But the scheduler typically does not send these immediately violating 1.

How to have both, send the data immediately but wait for the response in a non-blocking way?

I think you want `HTTP.open`. See [Client · HTTP.jl](https://juliaweb.github.io/HTTP.jl/stable/client/#Streaming-Requests).
