Hello, I am trying to implement a server using a "pre-fork" design. It currently works great with a custom protocol, but I'd like to integrate HTTP support - using evhttp.
The current design is the following: A control process creates and bind()s a socket, and then forks N times. This creates N processes that will listen() on this socket. Each process passes this socket to libevent, and one of them eventually accept()s a new connection, and handles the client. The socket is non-blocking, which means that of all the processes that try to accept(), only one will succeed, the others getting -1. I integrated evhttp into this design: I first had a problem with the call to evhttp_bind_socket(). This in turn calls bind(), which can not happen in the workers. This is why I moved it to the first process, before the calls to fork(). But then I can see only one "child" process handling all the clients (I'm using "ab -c100" to generate them). How can I have all the forked children handle the queries? I tried running event_init() again in the child, but then I don't get any http callback. Thanks in advance and congrats for such a nice library.
