hi. telegram recently add an ability to perform a request to the telegram Bot API while sending an answer to the webhook. can you do a simple implement of this feature in your bot?

Hi, I haven't read about this. I'll try to get some time this week to read about this!

Any PRs are welcome :)

I agree with @9px request, a webhook example could help, maybe a very simple sinatra example

BTW, generally speaking, the HTTP long polling seems to me a not great solution in terms of resources efficency; maybe a SSE (Server Sent Events) could be better... anyway the choice is between HTTP long polling ( https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#getting-updates ) vs HTTP webhooks ( https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#setwebhook ). This last case fit maybe better for a bot that could manage a very high troughtput (messages/sec). Telegram Bot API webhooks settings iare not too clear in documentation at my first glance...

Thanks @eljojo for your work, I'll do a PR if I'll be able...!
