Re: [libmicrohttpd] Using MHD_stop_daemon with signal() or elsewhere?

[Evgeny Grin]

Hi Gavin,

Using graceful closure is one of the vital thing for correct 
implementation of any application.
Of course you *must* call MHD_stop_daemon() as it stops MHD threads, 
free memory, closes sockets, and does other cleanups.

Not calling this function is like allocating memory without deallocating.
If your application is designed to work as systemd daemon, you must 
handle SIGTERM signal to properly close/free all resources before final 
exit.
