Please forgive (and inform) me if there is a better
place to ask this -- I'm new to Apache.
I intend to write a web application which needs to
stream data through long-lived connections, both
SSL-authenticated and unauthenticated. I haven't
decided yet whether I should tunnel my stream in SSL,
use a mime multipart response, or just use a really
long and slow HTTP response to encode a stream back
from the server.
I've briefly looked at the Apache source and it seems
that Apache does IO synchronously, and that a single
thread serves an entire request to completion. If
this is correct, then each open SSL connection needs
its own thread -- a perf disaster for my application.
Am I totally wrong about my conclusions? Is Apache
suited to my need to stream? Any advice would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Peter
