Regarding Multithreading in apache modules
Hi all,
Is it possible to use multithreading in apache modules written in C? As I searched, apr_thread_proc provides process & thread management functions. Does it come as part of Apache 2.2?
Thanks,
Pooja

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.
I do not really understand your problem and your need to use threads.
Why not hook log_transaction for your purpose?

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.
Thanks,
Pooja

Apache itself uses threads to serve requests if it is configured to
use the mpm_worker module.
