Handling multiple requests simultaneously in one thread

[Chris Dahl <cd...@yahoo.com>]

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

The event-mpm possibly does such things, but I never looked any closer.

Sincerely,
