Cool - thanks! Yea probably creating one client at the beginning saves a lot of allocations.

Sorry the urls.txt file is private to my employer; can't share it. But it's just a long text file with one URL per line. Is that what you're looking for?

I change a bit @hariamoor's code to make it works

async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {

    let send_fut = client.get(&path).send(); // Move this one out `async move`
    async move {
        match send_fut.await {
        }
    }
}
