I dont have a direct answer, but you might want to look into these things:

• Recoil project - https://github.com/recoilphp/recoil
• php's LibEvent extension? http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.libevent.php
• process forking http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.pcntl-fork.php
• message brokers, i.e. you could start workers to make the HTTP calls and once that job is done, insert a new job describing the work that needs to be done in order to process the cached HTTP response body.
