No, it's not, please have a look in the list archive at w3c site. There have been several threads about this. In short, IIRC, if you want to use libwww in a threaded application, you have to "serialize" the calls to the libwww (i.e. there should be only one thread making libwww requests) Making the libwww itself thread-safe would be a major task. > Second do I have to use Start a separate Preemptive profile for each Thread > to initialize the WWW-Lib? > > Thanks > Any help would be much appreciated. > Duc All the best, Hermann -- Hermann Gundel Software AG, Darmstadt, Germany R&D DBMS Open Systems tel: +49-6151-921127 email: Hermann.Gundel@softwareag.com
