struct ThreadReleaseLock

Detailed Description

This class provides an easy and less error prone way of locking and releasing a mutex.

The class should be instantiated on the stack such that the constructor locks the mutex when the scope becomes active and the destructor releases the mutex when the scope becomes inactive.

    { ThreadLock lock(dispMutex);
       //Protected web-server calls here
    }

This is a C++ class only.
