Enhanced thread handling in security handshaking

摘要

Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and software for handling threaded processes in security handshaking between end users and content delivery nodes are presented. In one example, a method of operating a content delivery node includes identifying a secure layer connection request within an application thread, and initiating a new thread for a security handshake process based on the secure layer connection request. The method further includes, in response to completing the security handshake process, returning to the application thread.

1. A method of operating a content delivery node that caches content for delivery to end user devices, the method comprising:
during execution of an application thread responsive to content request activity of at least an end user device, identifying a secure layer connection request within the application thread; responsive to the secure layer connection request, initiating a security handshake process as a handshake thread selected from among a pool of idle handshake threads to execute the security handshake process for the application thread; and in response to the handshake thread completing the security handshake process, returning to the application thread and returning the handshake thread to the pool of idle handshake threads.
