Hi,
I am trying to design a custom Apache module that will allow me to
efficiently stream data over HTTP to clients. Since many clients will be
receiving the same streamed data, I would prefer to not tie up a thread per
client, and instead have a single thread serve a group of clients.
Is it possible to get a single thread in Apache to simultaneously handle
multiple requests?
Are there any modules you know about out there that do something like this?
How do I hand over the request from one thread to the other without
request_rec getting destroyed when the first thread continues with the next
request?
As you may have guessed by now I do not have a lot of experience developing
Apache extensions, which is why the question is quite general. I would however
be most grateful if someone could provide me some pointers/suggestions or let
me know if what I am trying to do is impossible.
Best regards,
Chris
