Hello,
I'm using MHD in production, so I noticed a small problem in a customer: the MHD latency is very high. It is about 250ms. (Apache24 - 15ms; Nginx - 2ms; NodeJS - 5ms; Jetty - 5ms; libevent - 3ms)
You can't reproduce it testing in localhost, so you need two machines. If you want to test that, it is very easy:
- run a Windows 7, 8 or 10 in a VM (like VirtualBox);
- ping this virtual machine from your real machine and look if latency is OK (<1ms);
- compile this basic example and run it on the virtual machine [1];
- now, in your real machine, using something like a JMeter or just a HTTP client like this Chrome extension [2], access your HTTP server running in your virtual machine (usually
http://192.168.56.102:8080).
I tested it using other examples like the `demo.c` and the `fileserver_example_external_select.c`, and I saw the same problem. :-/
I need to do some configuration to get a better latency? (at least 100ms, because 250/300ms is so slow)
Thank you!
