Re: [libmicrohttpd] Question on Async support

[Santos Das]

Hi,

Thank you for the quick reply. I have one more question, please help in clarifying -

Can "libmicrohttpd" run as a part of the application event loop or is it mandatory for the  "libmicrohttpd"  to have its own event loop?

thanks, santos

Yes, it supports asynchronous processing.

Let's just say if used properly, it will never be anywhere near the
bottleneck. We know people running 100,000 requests/s on a single system
with MHD years ago. Quite likely to do more today, but very difficult to
test: when benchmarking, you will always be benchmarking your clients,
your network or your application logic long before hitting any MHD
threshold (on sane operating systems).
