I am sorry if the question was confusing, as the problem itself is difficult to word. This challenge is a real probelm I encountered. My intention was not to get help on this problem as I have aleady solved it. I will post the solution and the implementation in steps. The solution will probably come this weekend. I have been so swamped at work recently, I havent had the chance.

This challenge is basically a few problems rolled up into one. The main objective is to pass data between two threaded scripts without "seriously" interupting the performance of the scripts.

You can assume that the messages passed back and forth can be processed, by the script in a format of your choosing so long as the message format is a defined. It might be a little more clear if I state the flow of the script.

Basic script algorithm:
begin loop

Process data..
Compiles data into a standard message (You can define the template for the sake of passing sample messages)

does HTTP post
receives HTTP response
if response is valid data from other client, process it
else response is garbage, do nothing

end loop

So as you see, we need "something" that sits between the scripts which can accept http posts and send back responses. This entity needs to do it quickly, whether or not is has a message to send.

I hope this clears up the task slighly. Please feel free to ask more questions if you have them.
