Topic: Websocket handler module: running exe and starting 2 threads

[giustino]

Hi everyone,

Currently, websockets are running well with python websocket module (mod_pywebsocket) on my apache server.

But now, i need to convert python code part into C because i replaced mod_pywebsocket with mod_websocket (apache module).

Normally, that would not be a big deal. But i'm not familiar with apache libraries (apr_* and all those types). How could i write a similar code in C that would run an executable and start 2 threads ?

Actually, my python websocket handler is doing this:

It opens an executable (C++) and redirects stdin/stdout.
Then it runs 2 threads: one called ThreadReader and the other called ThreadWriter.

Can someone give me some help with apache C structure of code to run an executable and create 2 threads in the websocket handler ?

Maybe this will help.

Thank you but this is not what i need.

Posix thread is something i can do. The main problem here is APR from apache. I'm not very familiar with it.

Right now, i'm learning APR and i'm trying to run an executable using
