Maybe this is a Windows problem...
nsproxy does not build by default on windows. Actually grepping through
the files I don't think it gets built automatically on any platform
since I don't see any mention of it in there anywhere.
Anyhow, I go into the nsproxy directory and try to compile it, and it's
looking for "poll.h". I have this file in cygwin but I built AOLServer
using Visual Studio so compiling the module in cygwin doesn't really
work (using regular make that is)
If I ad -I to the cygwin include directory where poll.h (and the stuff
it relies upon) is, nmake goes bananas, because now it wants to use
cygwin's stdio, etc, etc.
What is it that poll.h is for, and is there some equivalent in windows?
Something I can download?
Any thoughts?

The deal is, I need to open a connection to a port on the same machine,

enough.
The connection needs to be persistent though, and ideally I would open
one connection that all threads in the server could use.
I would suggest upgrading to AOLserver 4.5.0 and looking at the newly
introduce nsproxy module. I'd create a proxy pool of size 1 and
establish the network connection in the proxy. Then, code running in
the server can grab the (one) handle to the proxy and use the socket
then release the handle, but as long as you don't kill/restart the
proxy, the connection will stay connected in the proxy.
There's a reason why everyone should be happy to upgrade to AOLserver
4.5.0, the nsproxy module makes it so worth it. :-)
Rusty, I'd be happy to help you write the code for the implementation of
this if you're willing to allow the code to be released with the
AOLserver license and used as an example for everyone else. Just let me
know if you're interested.
