Re: [libmicrohttpd] Question on Async support
Hi, Thanks for your reply. I have a question on how we do the asynchronous operation (when I am running the michrohttpd as a part of my thread and in the same event loop) ? For example, my application received a http message and as a part of handling the message it has to send out another request (for example, I trigger a message over diameter interface) and will send out the http response only after receiving the response from my created procedures (for example in this case the http response would be sent once the reply over diameter interface is received. Can the application send and receive the data through the callback ? Could you please let me know how this can be achieved ?

[libmicrohttpd] Aync handling & message response
Hi, With ref to: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libmicrohttpd/2018-08/msg00015.html , I gone through twister, but looks like this is sync operation. The curl operation is performed sync in same thread. I wanted to know if there is a way to make it async, so basically on receiving the data callback (entire data), we should be able to store the connection details (cls ?) so that server can do some other task, like may be fetch from DB. When server is ready with response, it should be able to call MHD_queue_response with the stored connection details. When it breaks to fetch from DB, it could also handle other incoming requests. Let me know If I'm missing something here or if there is any pointers w.r.t use of MHD in this way preferably using raw epoll instead of GNUnet. Threading model interested is : Application is single threaded with its own epoll, MHD not to create any threads. Thanks, ~Kunal
