Is it possible to delay response to client?

[Marko M.]

Hello,

Is it possible to delay response to client in spserver, so that you
wouldn't have to give an answer to client right away in the message
handler?
I'm asking because I have to do asyncronous IO calls to databases and
disk. I don't want to wait in a blocking state in my handler function
for the slow operations to finish.

So would it be possible to put client in a waiting state in the
handler,
find the client after the asynchronous calls are done (using the
client's id) and *then* send the response?

If not, do you think it would be hard to tweak the framework to allow
that?

Use the dispatcher class.
1.Add a queue. Push (sid, request) to queue and return empty response
in handler.
2.Add a threadpool. Pop (sid, request) from queue to process, generate
response, and send back to client.
