I have a two websites in php and python.
When a user sends a request to the server I need php/python to send an HTTP POST request to a remote server. I want to reply to the user immediately without waiting for a response from the remote server.
Is it possible to continue running a php/python script after sending a response to the user. In that case I'll first reply to the user and only then send the HTTP POST request to the remote server.
Is it possible to create a non-blocking HTTP client in php/python without handling the response at all?
A solution that will have the same logic in php and python is preferable for me.
Thanks
What you need to do is have the PHP script execute another script that does the server call and then sends the user the request.
