Current version of mod_rivet supports only the prefork MPM of httpd, thus confining the module within the domain of Unix-like systems and, even in that case, putting a constraint on the httpd configuration. Embedding Tcl in a threaded environment has some critical issues to deal with since a Tcl interpreter can not be shared among threads. A reference solution to the problem is implemented in mod_perl where a separate pool of threads is managed. Basically the project has to explore the possibility of implementing such a solution for mod_rivet too. The project output should be a prototype on which we could proceed with the refactoring of current mod_rivet code -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
