These pretty much amount to the same thing. If the request is being initiated by the worker, you have one less step between reading the response data and inserting into the DB since you won't have to send a message to a worker... so i would say its slightly preferable to use HTTPRequest in the worker. > > 2 - Can I do synchronous calls inside a workerpool?
