Hi,
I'd like to ask if sending http requests with libevent is carried out in
separate thread or is the library
single-threaded? I want to use the library in a program which will visit
many URL and download
it's content. Is it good idea to use libevent or the classic solution
with creating a separate thread per URL
request will be much more efficient solution?
I saw that libevent was used in spybye, which is kind of similar what I
want to do. I was wondering
if spybye were more efficient with requests served in separate threads
instead of using libevent
(I don't say that it's not efficient, just theoretically).
Kind regards,
Cezary
