[Cchatd-devel] network method revised:threads

[rohan m. <roh...@st...>]

Ok, i've worked out a slightly different network model, now i
understand the base better:

1) In the main thread, have a main socket listening(socket is blocking
as we dont need to use any non-blocking functions).
Check for incoming connections with select.
When an incoming connection is detected, spawn a thread:

2) The connection is accepted and put into the client structure. Then
the thread uses a blocking recv to get incoming data(as it's in a
seperate thread, this does not impede the rest of the program).

3) The request is processed and the thread exits. I'm not quite sure
about this part, but I think it is about right...

Hope this fits,
Rohan

PS I've got cvs working now, it was trying to use an anonymous account
instead of my real one.
