The object returned by sendRequest ("req") is a Deferrable, the reason 
we need to keep synchronous call is that these calls are made in 
functions which look like:

def do_something()
  ret = sendRequestOne()
  ret2 = sendRequestTwo(ret)
  ...
end

We could rewrite them to by asynchronous but making the current 
implementation works is way faster (and take less time too).
