I'm interested in adding a Comet capability to a (rather large) mod-perl application.
To get around XSS limitations, the Comet service will have the same host and port as the web service. However, I don't want a large mod-perl process tied up performing the Comet service. Is there a way that a web request can be passed off to another process without tying up the Apache process? For instance, can the Apache process pass the file descriptors for the HTTP connection to another process which would free itself up for handling the next Apache request? Is there another way to implement this? Thanks, ER
