Hi Sorin, Thanks for the prompt response. So is it possible to create new threads and do my custom tasks in parallel? Do you have any useful pointers to working with apr_thread_proc?
I have a doubt that using multithreading inside apache module, which is itself part of an apache main process thread could be much beneficial? The module I intend to write is basically for generating log files using the client side data sent as part of the request. This data is going to be of uniform size mostly.

Apache itself uses threads to serve requests if it is configured to use the mpm_worker module. S -- A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. Q: Why is top-posting frowned upon?
