title: Rails http request - don't wait for response
body: <p>I am coding in Ruby-on-Rails</p>
  
  <p>I would like to send a http request to another service but not wait for a response.</p>
  
  <p>Pseudocode:</p>
  
  <pre><code> def notification
       require 'net/http'
  
       ...
       # send net/http request
       Net::HTTP.post_form(url, params)
  
       render :text =&gt; "Rendered quickly as did not wait for response from POST"
   end
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there any way to send the POST request and not wait for a response and just to quickly render the page?</p>
