A simple example of using the Typhoeus parallel HTTP client library

typhoeus_example.rb

# setup requests
request_one = Typhoeus.get("www.example.com")
request_two = Typhoeus.get("www.google.com")
request_three = Typhoeus.get("www.bing.com")

# initialize a "Hydra" for performing requests in parallel
hydra = Typhoeus::Hydra.new
hydra.queue(request_one)
hydra.queue(request_two)
hydra.queue(request_three)

# run and wait for all requests to finish
hydra.run

# fetch the body of the response
puts request_one.response.body
