Good idea, but there is a downside: the connection pooling here is closely tied to server operations, not client. (also the client API is pretty basic right now). On the other hand, the evthr code (libevhtp/evthr) can be used independently. It's quite handly once you get the hang of it. It operates much like what Nir has suggested (finding the least utilized pool, etc). *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@freehaven.net with unsubscribe libevent-users in the body.
