Group plc X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.08 [en] (WinNT; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Apache List Subject: The lack of poll() Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: new-httpd-owner@apache.org Precedence: bulk Reply-To: new-httpd@apache.org So, I've _finally_ found the time to start looking at Apache 2.0. But, I fall at the first hurdle. FreeBSD 2.2.8, my development platform of circumstance, if not choice (probably, given a free hand, that would be FreeBSD 3.2), doesn't support poll(). >From what I've seen so far, I can easily work around that with select(), but how do we want to play this, really?
