I may have been wrong; it's just my impression that mod_proxy_fcgi had essentially been abandoned. > What would be then the right place/person to report feedback to? dev@httpd and/or bugzilla.

Now that makes sense - and indeed ties into something I'm trying to work towards (but don't expect anything exciting anytime soon). Posting something based on that to dev@ might be more productive than a long/rambling report that you have to read in detail before confirming it looks like a bug (as opposed to a user error). > If I missed that features in mod_fcgid, I'd be glad if you could let me > know. > > There is still mod_fastcgi on my mind, but I'd have to modify it to > work for my purpose and it's code is horrible in terms that it still > has support for Apache 1.x. If mod_fastcgi has capabilities that are missing in mod_fcgid and that you have a use for, that may be worth turning into a feature request. -- Nick Kew --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
