</div>Wouldn't you be able to write a task manager that first reads the<br>
request header, then decides whether the request is a COMET request<br>
and queue it or hand it over to another thread for processing? You<br>
might still want to have multiple connection handling threads in order<br>
to have some concurrency in request header reading, but such a scheme<br>
should be possible with the current architecture. Or am I missing<br>
something?</blockquote><div> </div></div></div><div>It is possible, but handle-incomming-connection is now in fact a thin wrapper around <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; ">process-connection which does all the work, thus having process management depend on request contents requires one to patch or rewrite process-connection to simply avoid reading request data which have been read already.</span><div>
