>From the comments in the TestThreadedIO.cpp within the netwerk/tests
directory, I have discovered that it is not possible to do an asynchRead
from a child thread.
"// This test attempts to load a URL on a separate thread. It is currently
// designed simply to expose the problems inherent in such an ambitous task
// (i.e., it don't work)."
Are there any work arounds?
I am attempting to build an XPCom object which would retreive various URLs
on an interval basis. I am attempting to utilize the necko engine, however,
because my call to asynchRead is invoked within a child thread, I am
asserting when trying to create a URI. (nsCategoryManager not thread safe- I
invoked Init_XPCOM from the main thread which is where the nsCategoryManager
was created.)
Any ideas would be appreciated
