I need some idea about one unusual module with threaded communication :

[milad rezai <re...@ncc-gnss.com>]

How can I communicate between different thread (one thread per client)?

Problem : I need to develop a module with persistent connections, I have two
kind of clients : one of them persistently sends data on connection and
another must use and get from first kind of connections and place on his
socket for feeding his client?

Now how can I handle this type of module? Is Apache module development
platform enough for writing this?

sincerely,
Milad Rezaei Fili,
Senior software management of NCC(National Cryptography Center).

I didn't reply to that because the problem description confuses me.
How many connections, and where do they come from?  Doesn't sound
like standard HTTP!

Makes sense ... probably!

That's old!

These days we have two shared memory frameworks: slotmem and socache.
I'd look there first, rather than duplicate older code.

Consider using shared memory - or shm.  Using a search engine and "apache
module shared memory example" gives a previous thread on this list :

http://marc.info/?l=apache-modules&m=113977658131259

In it, Nick gives a pointer to look at the util_ldap source.

The examples will show you that there are components to the API that can be
used (for portability).

Hopefully, this will help.
