This is useful for operations that need to happen after a request, but that the client doesn't really have to be waiting for the operation to complete before receiving the response.

This includes, for example:

* Email notifications sent after performing an action:
    * As connecting to an email server and sending an email tends to be "slow" (several seconds), you can return the response right away and send the email notification in the background.
* Processing data:

from dirty_equals import IsDict
from fastapi.testclient import TestClient

from docs_src.schema_extra_example.tutorial004_an import app

client = TestClient(app)


# Test required and embedded body parameters with no bodies sent
def test_post_body_example():
    response = client.put(
        "/items/5",
        json={
            "name": "Foo",
            "description": "A very nice Item",
            "price": 35.4,
