Another (possible?) option (supposing a function named "MHD_poll"):
int main(void) {
/* some MHD deamon initialization */
while (!terminated) { /* terminated -> e.g.: some termination condition
handle by signal */
MHD_poll(); // something similar too:
https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose/blob/master/examples/simplest_web_server/simplest_web_server.c#L33
}
}
So the MHD_poll() would allow to reuse the built in MHD's select/epoll in
any external thread (for example, in the main thread of a console
application).
Maybe a MHD_poll() is already implemented in MHD in some private function.
If so, that function would be very appreciated as an external function. :-)
