If you just want to call an url and you don't need the result, you can
perform the url fetch in a task and just add that task to a queue from your
request handler.

Hi!
I'm using Google Analytics for Mobile Browsers wherein I connect with
Google Analytics servers via my appengine app to track users.
For performance reasons, I'm thinking of using asynchronous URLfetch
to call the google analytics tracking url near the middle of my
request handler code.
Well, I'm not really interested in the result of that urlfetch, so I'm
not interested in calling get_result(). So I don't want my app to wait
for the result, and just increase the time for the user to wait. I
just want it successfully called.
The documentation for Asynchronous URLfetch (http://code.google.com/
appengine/docs/python/urlfetch/asynchronousrequests.htmlhttp://code.google.com/%0Aappengine/docs/python/urlfetch/asynchronousrequests.html)
states If
the app request timer expires while the app is waiting, the call is
canceled.
What does it mean by the call is canceled?
My current request handler usually returns within 40-70ms (without the
urlfetch), and I'd like to keep it that way.
I haven't tested this in production. Will this be an OK practice?
Thanks!
