Making RESTclient call Async from WebReport

We are using then following sample type of code to call RESTful API from WebReport. But it is causing the delay in creating objects like Folder/Document. So, we like to make this call as Asynchronous, so that it does not cause delay...

[LL_WEBREPORT_RESTCLIENT
@HOST:r00wuan0c.bnymellon.net
@PORT:10012
@URI:/OTCS/cs/api/v1/auth
@METHOD:POST
@TIMEOUT:10
@BODY:
@OUTPUT:ASSOC:AuthAssoc /]

Just curious. Are you calling the auth API because you're wanting the OTCS TIcket? I think you already can get that from one of the WR subtaks (LLCOOKIE or something like that). Check the WebReport forum for that question if that's what you're looking for.
On the RESTCLIENT tag itself, I don't have any experience - I've used the REST API in WebReports but always from a jquery ajax block.

Hi Hugh

Thank you for replying. The main concern is making any RESTful API call as Asynchronous from WEBREPORT. How we can do that?

Here is a simple block with some code bits stolen from @Appu_Nair1 but other bits my own. I use the serverinfo API as an example, being called inside a WebReport. The key thing is you probably need to use the beforeSend: in your request in order to properly affix the ticket.

The RESTCLIENT tag doesn't support async execution. Are you calling a secondary Content Server instance using this tag or are you calling back to the same instance the tag is executed on? If it's the latter, this isn't really supported.
