[Gambas-user] Re; Threads ...

[Gareth Bult]

Erm,

I'm looking to write an online application that requires a memory resident HTTP daemon which is capable of servicing a relatively high load. I'm simply trying to determine whether I can use Gambas for the job ... I know I can use other languages, the existing code is written in Python, I'd just like to make more use of Gambas where possible.

Gareth.

Gambasdoc.org actually runs on a Gambas web application written by Benoit.  
You can find its source as app/src/doc.cgi in the Gambas tarball.

You're talking about writing an actual HTTP daemon in Gambas?  I don't 
think that's really necessary, but it's been done in Perl, Python, etc. 
for particular applications.

If you're going to start multiple copies of the program to simulate 
multithreading, you might as well just run it as an xinetd service using a 
file or database store for session information.
