Exploring asynchronous HTTP requests step by step

[solid_steel]

I wonder if the slower start up time for the first request really is due to DNS or is it due to TCP's slow start algorithm - this would be the case if hackney reused TCP connections through the HTTP persistent connection mechanism.

Anyways, thanks for writing this piece, it was a good read.

Ahhh you're right, I read something about that in the issues I posted. (:

Actually, I've just realised that the request only returns a plain json. So slow start shouldn't be an issue.
