I'm a newcomer to Apache, so please excuse if this is an inappropriate question for any reason. I have looked over the Apache 2.0.28 sources (but not Apache source for earlier versions).
My question is whether it is possible to construct an MPM for Windows that operates a la the UNIX-specific "prefork" MPM; that is, does its work by spawning multiple processes with just one thread per process. It appears that the sole MPM for Windows, "winnt", creates many threads in the child process. The reason for desiring multiple processes and *not* multiple threads-per-process might be (for example) if one is also adding a module that calls into non-thread-safe libraries. Are there fundamental issues with Windows that preclude this, or has such an MPM just not been built yet? Thanks for any information or pointers. Richard Title Rational Software
