I’m currently trying to find a way to initiate a set of parallel requests, but the environment isn’t a browser, it’s a library. Therefore the parallel requests do not necessarily have to stem from an initial page load, which makes access to the “resources(…)” API method kind of awkward. Is there a different way to do parallel requests without needing an HttpRequestBuilder? At the moment, I’m thinking it would help if the API provides a way to invoke parallel requests in a similar fashion to “exec” or “group” (e.g., an execParallel that has the same flexibility as exec). ---

Cool, Thanks. I'll submit one. Just wasn't sure if there was a better way to do parallel requests in a session.
