Vista - Best way to implement a high performance: HTTP messaging engine

10-01-2009

I am developing a high performance HTTP messaging engine which potentially
needs to service many simultaneous requests.

My main concern with using any of the built in framework classes such as
WebClient or HttpWebrequest is that they internally use threads from the
machines thread pool which I think potentially limits scalability.

Can anyone offer advice on how best to implement a scalable HTTP messaging
engine? I know going back to basics and building a HTTP messenger upwards
from the TCP level would be the best solution but this seems like a fairly
substantial coding task. Ideally I would like to leverage something at a
little higher level.

I've done a fair bit of Googling but cannot find a definitive answer.

Any ideas, tips or advice would be gratefully received.
