How to have a non-blocking 'any' route, which proxies multiple method requests?

I see I can do this to have a non-blocking get handler:

...
$self->render_later;

$self->ua->get('http://www.superhugepage.com/blah.html' => sub {});
...

But I don't understand how to use Mojo::UserAgent in an 'any' handler,
where method might be 'get', 'put', 'delete', etc. Do I build a tx, attach
the callback to 'finish', then start it? Or just do:

$method = $self->req->method;
$self->ua->$method()

?

Thanks

Perhaps this way:

my $tx = $ua->build_tx($method => ... normal get/post/etc args ...);

$ua->start($tx => sub {

  ...

});

Thanks. I'll try that.

Next problem is what needs to be done to read the request body and
transfer it to the ua. Would that happen automatigically if the req is
cloned? In this case, would Mojo buffer the request? Does anyone have a
gist which proxies a request without reading and caching the request body?

I've found this which deals with some of these issues:

Thanks all.

Are you building a proxy..? Maybe you want to have a look at either of these:

It looks to me that will proxy only get requests. It would be interesting
to see that extended for post, etc.

I can't quite tell what that does, and the pod isn't helpful :-)
