             Summary: [GSoC] Establishing a mod_rivet prototype supporting threaded MPMs
                 Key: COMDEV-113
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMDEV-113
             Project: Community Development
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Mentoring
         Environment: All
            Reporter: Massimo Manghi


The project is aimed at creating a prototype for a new version of mod_rivet, a module embedding the Tcl scripting language in the Apache HTTP web server. Current version of mod_rivet supports only the prefork MPM of httpd, thus confining the module on Unix-like systems and, even in this case, putting a constraint on the httpd configuration. Embedding Tcl in a threaded environment has some critical issues to deal with since a Tcl interpreter can not be shared among threads. A reference solution to the problem is implemented in mod_perl where a separate pool of threads is managed. Basically the project has to explore the possibility of implementing such solution for mod_rivet too. The project output should be a prototype on which we could proceed with the refactoring of current mod_rivet code
