If an external applications hold the connection open the non-blocking IO
library will return immediately with 0 bytes on a read() therefore the si=
ngle
thread is free to continue processing other requests.

Hello Matthew,

I did not work with NIO yet, so I cannot say much about it
> However I wonder
how a single threaded non-blocking version should work as we would need
to
cycle constantly through all open connections to see whether there is any=

data
and after receiving a full (and cached) request we would need to generate=

th
> output. However what would we do with external applications holding the=

connection open? Did I missunderstand anything?

Thanks,
Alexander
