Hi,

Does Wowza API support Java Asynchronous I/O?

I’m extending HTTProvider2Base and I would like to make onHTTPRequest wait until some external request. But we can’t block the I/O, we need to let others user connect and fetch the data as well or wait too.

Basically, it would be great if we could add some non-blocking code. Not sure what’s the best way to do this.

Any ideas?

Hello

It probably would be best to thread the initial request and upon completion do a callback to the originating client.

Thanks,
