Use custom event loop for AsyncClient requests

I am currently using an async web framework and I would like to perform some http requests from the server.

That means I would need to use the same event loop I already use for my server. How can I change httpx's loop?

Let it go, I was still using the sync client (Client), instead of the async one (AsyncClient)

You don’t need to do anything special - AsyncClient doesn’t set any particular event loop, it’ll use whatever context you’re already in.
