how to run async-friendly requests inside handler

[thepixelmonk]

So I'm using the standard setup:

let mut reactor = IrcReactor::new().unwrap();
let client = reactor.prepare_client_and_connect(&config).unwrap();
reactor.register_client_with_handler(client, process_msg);
reactor.run().unwrap();

and have long-running network requests in process_msg which currently blocks all subsequent messages from processing. The docs say this is an async friendly library, so how am I supposed to run long-running processes inside the handler and still allow subsequent messages to come through?

Hi, sorry, didn't see this until now. Did you close it because you already figured out how to deal with it?
