Different concurrent requests to REST API

I want to know how I can issue multiple, different cURL requests concurrently to a RESTful API, to test my application. I'm using a Maru RESTful API for Elixir, and my requests only differ in the GET arguments. My cURL requests look something like:

curl -X GET http://localhost:8880/path -G -d "data1=abc&data2=123&..."

where the values of data1, data2 etc. differ. I would prefer some sort of a tool like ab, the Apache HTTP server benchmarking tool, but ab only allows concurrent requests of the same kind. I am trying to test my application for concurrent, differing responses to the different, concurrently issued cURL requests.

You will need to make your cURL requests asynchronous, so they can run in the same time and when they are finished, a callback function is called. However, this will not necessarily solve your problem, since there is a chance that the remote API is using something like IIS, serving requests sequentially.
