RE: [twsocket] Is there a way to download a file in threads?
The only shortcoming of ICS is the web server which has no official and/or optimized CGI/ISAPI component and by design async which is bad for a web server. SZ, why do you think async design is bad for a webserver?

Re: [twsocket] Is there a way to download a file in threads?
Hello, Well, async cannot take advantage of multi-processor systems. Also for CGI and ISAPI execution, threads seem to be a better way. And all the commercial Web servers I know such as IIS and Apache chose it for these reasons.

Well, async cannot take advantage of multi-processor systems. Also for CGI and ISAPI execution, threads seem to be a better way. And all the commercial Web servers I know such as IIS and Apache chose it for these reasons. You are mixing up two factors. Even on multi-processor system, one CPU is usually enough to handle connections. That doesn't prevent you from creating additional threads to process CGI and ISAPI requests - nobody says that such requests must execute in the context of the thread handling socket connections. One of my commercial designs is using this approach and it is working just great.
