[mapserver-users] cgi, fastcgi or apache module?

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi Paul,

thanks for your answer. You refer to something Daniel has noted, what was the exact email in which he noted this?

And how difficult is it you think to make mapserver thread-safe and where could be the bottle-necks?

Greetings,
Bart
