Network Programming: Multithreads

[pradeepag]

Hi all,
I want to implement a proxy server in C.
That proxy server stands there for several concurrent client requests
& services them.
Using select(), it is working fine.
But I want to make my proxy work more efficiently.
So What is the next thing I can do?

whether there is any more thing should added with select()?
or should I move away from select() and go for multithreaded...?
or select() + multithreads ?

If multithreads should come there, please can some one give a simple
explanation for thread implementation...simple code( I want to use
POSIX thread library)
Actually, I wrote it using thread ah!...
//server code
int main(){
while(true){
//create a thread using pthread.h create_pthread()
//thread_join();
}

ThreadFunction(){
// coded What should client do
}

I couldn't see thread concept is working there. server works for one
client and then next one(in order), but not switching between threads
when one is reading a file, other thread should in work. but....:-(

Thanks a lot.

Well, asking POSIX questions on comp.unix.programmer would be a start.

(Snip POSIX-specific code)

ask in the right group. Everything you talk about above is offtopic
here. Try comp.unix.programming.

Thanks a lot for all your guide.
I was new to google groups....
And Even I put subject as Network programming, C and threads(how to
handle threads in C) were in my mind.

Thanks again.
