Bufferevents and the Libevent core can be setup to be thread-safe: just follow the "Locks and Threading" instructions at http://www.wangafu.net/~nickm/libevent-book/Ref1_libsetup.html to tell Libevent how to use your threading library, then make sure you use the BEV_OPT_THREADSAFE option when constructing your bufferevents. The evhttp* code is not currently threadsafe. -- Nick *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@freehaven.net with unsubscribe libevent-users in the body.
