Re: making an http server

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi,

You can use a sync queue for example, in your main thread (the one
accepting connections) each time a new connection is received the TcpClient
(or Socket) is stored in a Sync'd Queue, a new thread is spawn to execute
the serving methid, this method dequeue the first element from the queue and
it's the sockets it uses


cheers,
