Re: [Libevent-users] libevent is blocking on me

[Ron Combs <roncombs64@xxxxxxxxx>]

Niels,

Thank you for your prompt response. I have a call of event_dispatch in my main function

but I also need a event_dispatch in my http_get_query function which is called to fetch data from

a remote host when my http handler is called.

When someone visits my web site which runs evhttp, I need to query another remote server for data.

Everything works except that my http_get_query function starts grinding to a halt after 50 or so request.

Is their a specific way that I need to execute this in for it to be able to handle atleast 1K/req sec without blocking when each req needs to fetch data from a remote host.

I tried looking for examples of evhttp servers that implement something similar but no luck.

Thank you for your help, I appreciate it.

Ron

There should only be a single call to event_dispatch() in your code.
Probably in the main function.
