Re: [libmicrohttpd] Using External EPOLL event loop

[Christian Grothoff]

Hi!

Yes, you must use the "external event loop" option with the epoll
option, then use MHD_get_daemon_info to extract MHD's epoll FD, and then
add *that* epoll fd to your own event loop (and if that FD triggers for
reading, you must then call MHD_run).  Basically, you'll be using
epoll()'s ability to be cascaded.

You can find an example in Taler's exchange/src/bank-lib/fakebank.c at
https://git.taler.net/). However, the Git web is currently down as we
are moving servers, so this link won't help you right now.  So I'm also
attaching the fakebank.c code itself.

I hope this helps!

Christian
