oops!, I never worked with threads before, and I'm not dooing , I just wrote a module
...
So this is my problem:
My module translates the request to a directory, for virtual hosting porpouses.
But the problem is that i need to change the user Id as well, so interpreters
running as
modules (as php, perl) and cgi runs on that one.
All the translations must be done based on tables that I have in a file.
Is the only solution to build an MPM ? like perchild ?
But here it arraises another problem, I have to switch to the thread is answering for
the website after
the server process the request, because I dont�t have the URL earlier ? do I ? so this
is after the mpm, doesn' it ?
example: I need to answer an ssl request, I will know the URL after the MPM (is this
correct?) process it, so
this is the first time i know which user id to switch to.
