Re: [libmicrohttpd] Question on Async support

[Santos Das]

Thank you once again for the prompt reply.

I have few more questions. Are you aware of any project which has integrated libmicrohttpd along with libcurl without losing any functionality of MHD ? I really want to run in the single threaded model as I mentioned above.

I looked at  the following . But, was not quite impressive.

https://github.com/babelouest/ulfius

Also, any comment on the following ? I hope again, we are not losing any functionality of libmicrohttpd here?

Thanks, santos

I'm not sure I'd call this scoreboarding, but yes, the 'cls' is there so
that the application can associate state with the request for later
continuations.

Yes.

No, but easy to add by linking against libjanson.
