<PRE>I think you'd have to roll your own, you just need some way to correlate
<<A HREF="http://www.enterpriseintegrationpatterns.com/CorrelationIdentifier.html">http://www.enterpriseintegrationpatterns.com/CorrelationIdentifier.html</A>>
responses
with the originating request. OTP does something similar under the hood
with gen_server calls <<A HREF="http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/gen_server.html#call-2">http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/gen_server.html#call-2</A>>
.
It's also possible to treat the ws connection as a messaging channel, and
use something like selective consumer
<<A HREF="http://www.enterpriseintegrationpatterns.com/MessageSelector.html">http://www.enterpriseintegrationpatterns.com/MessageSelector.html</A>> to
de-multiplex the messages. e.g. you could add a type/channel field to each
message, and only subscribe to those messages.
Remember that once you move into an async world, there are no guarantees
that you will receive a response! So you need to start thinking about
timeouts etc.
