In my case, I have a windows DLL which uses libwww underneath to POST and get responses back from a servlet. This windows DLL when used by clients, who send quick successive requests, results in a failure. The first request *hangs* so to speak where as the second one, does succeed. I noticed that in this case, I get a Host info... REUSING CHANNEL 022310A0 status message. I tried to mimic the above behaviour through an independent threaded NT VC++ application and got the same behaviour. My main consideration is to get around my DLL problem. -Tanmay ----------------------- Tanmay Patwardhan Applications Developer, UBS Warburg, Chicago, IL. ----------------------- >From: Richard Atterer <[email protected]> >To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: thread safety >Date: Thu, 1 May 2003 01:47:13 +0200 > > >On Wed, Apr 30, 2003 at 05:29:12PM -0500, Tanmay Patwardhan wrote: > > I did read previous discussions on the list about libwww not being >thread > > safe.
