title: Fastest way to send multiple http requests in R
body: <p>You can use multithreading in Python and send lots of http requests, like in <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2632520/what-is-the-fastest-way-to-send-100-000-http-requests-in-python">this</a> SO question. My question is, is there any <em>easy</em> way to do this in R? I've seen a guide for RCurl <a href="http://www.omegahat.net/RCurl/concurrent.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>, but I'd prefer a simpler solution if possible. Currently I'm looping through a series of ids, it's be great to send all (or more) of them at once.</p>
