Re: [libmicrohttpd] Protocol upgrade

[Markus Doppelbauer]

Dear Evgeny,

Thanks a lot for your answer.

I will have to live with this API - but I don't like it. A great API would be

something similar to "MHD_create_response_from_callback()" and

"suspend/resume_connection()".

But I understand that this is very difficult to implement.

Maybe I am wrong, but this would also obsolete the "pipe()" on TLS connections.

Thanks a lot

Markus
