Hi All,
First, I''m new to the list, so I''d like to say hello to all
fellow
mongrelists :)
Second, I''d like to ask you if there''s any way to make a
simple mongrel
script run multithreaded?
No rails, just plain old
class MyHandler < Mongrel::HttpHandler
.
.
.
h = Mongrel::HttpServer.new("127.0.0.1", "80")
stuff.
Since win32 lacks fork, I don''t know if I can make it process multiple
request simultaneously.
I''ve read about the mongrel rails service thing, but that''s
only for rails,
if I''m not mistaken.
Thank you in advance,
Ochronus

Csaba: You can run anything multithreaded on Windows by using Ruby Threads. These are green threads, not native ones, and they are non-blocking, which is what you would want. Look up some examples of using the Thread class, which is in the Ruby language core, and you should be on your way. You can create them in a loop and get many running. I am new to Ruby, otherwise I would give you a concrete example.

Thank you both, Geoffrey and cdr for your help. I didn''t know it was threaded on win32 by default :) Then I don''t really get why there''s so big performance difference bw/ a unix backed mongrel and a win32 one...

It is 30% slower than the same code compiled with GCC 3.4.5 (or 4.2.1). Future versions of ruby for windows will provide updated builds, we are working on that :-) -- Luis Lavena Multimedia systems - Leaders are made, they are not born.
