Description: ------------ Similar to the request for non-blocking, but i would like to be able to send one or more http request where processing could take long and the response is of no consequence and continue on with the script without waiting for the response. Currently it waits for the response to come back before processing continues. as far as the curl method is concerned, newer versions of curl/php have the curl option CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS which when set to 1 would achieve this effect. however i'm not using a new enough version. so it would be nice to also have a solution when using the socket method.
