hi, I have a sence that client send the big data request, then server will use multi thread to process the request, these threads might invoke parser parallel, I'm not sure hao do I support the multi threads via http-parser.

http-parser is oblivious to threads. As long as there's only one thread at a time operating on the struct http_parser instance and provided you issue the proper memory barrier when passing the struct between threads, everything is fine.
