::blocking::Client::get within a spawn thread?

[iampi31415]

Given the statements like this for reqwest::blocking:

Conversely, the functionality in reqwest::blocking must not be executed within an async runtime, or it will panic when attempting to block.

I am not using a runtime (so one would obviously derive it does not apply) but just to be sure: it would be a valid approach to spawn threads using ::blocking::Client::get within (just to avoid Tokio), right?

Basically I am using an Arc<Client> to clone the client's configuration and move it to the thread, and use a different call on each thread (I do not have hundreds, but ~10).

Something like this:

        let (tx, rx) = mpsc::channel();
        for feed in feeds {
            match feed {
                Ok(feed) => {
                    // each with its own transmitter.
                    let arc = Arc::clone(&client);
                    let t = tx.clone();
                    thread::spawn(move || t.send(request_info(&arc, feed)));
                }
                Err(err) => eprintln!("{err}"),
            };
        }

        drop(tx);
// ...

From what you've said so far, this is exactly what the blocking client is for and how to use it. 🤓
