[libmicrohttpd] threading model question

[Sven Geggus]

Hello,

I try to use libmicrohttpd in conjunction with a main function which
acquires data in an endless loop (currently every 4 seconds).

What I want to achieve is that all the current client connections
with an active request for this data will block until it is
available.

Thus I decided to go for the MHD_USE_THREAD_PER_CONNECTION model.

I tried to use pthread_cond_wait and pthread_cond_broadcast to
implement the blocking scheme, but unfortunately this does not work
as expected when more than one client is in use.

Attached is a broken down example code.

compile with:
cc -o httpd-test -g -Wall -W httpd-test.c -lmicrohttpd

As a client I currently use a
couple of "wget -q -O - http://localhost:8888"; calls.

Any hint?

Sven
