[SR-Users] Re: Kamailio not receiving packets on high CPS

Hello, just wondering what would be the best approach to use http_async_client on a stateless redirect server, if that is even possible. Any examples to share? Also, as a side note, documentation/wiki Kamailio Modules <https://kamailio.org/docs/modules/5.8.x/#H> states that HTTP_CLIENT is a "Sync and async HTTP client using CURL library" but there are no examples on how to use async HTTP with this module....
