vlc | branch: master | Rémi Denis-Courmont <rdenis at simphalempin.com> | Wed Jan 14 22:07:31 2009 +0200| [3c7d7fa8da0cbbdfc1be3d01c06f22d232528703] | committer: Rémi Denis-Courmont 

httpd: use a condition variable instead of msleep, and fix a small race

host->i_url was read without protection. We also now use the reference
count as the "death" variable, rather than vlc_object_alive() which
simplifies locking.
