FastCGI is a technique of improving [CGI] performance by prestarting one's application. http://www.fastcgi.com seems to be the current link for this... What: FastCGI for Tcl Where: http://fastcgi.idle.com/ ftp://ftp.procplace.com/pub/tcl/sorted/packages-7.6/net/fcgi.tcl-0.4/fcgi.tcl-0.4.tar.gz http://www.fastcgi.com/applibs/2.0.0/fcgi-devel-kit.tar.Z (???) http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fastcgi-developers Description: Extension of CGI that eliminates drawbacks and provides high performance, which remaining highly compatible with existing CGI applications. Original only supports Tcl 7.4, see idle site for pointers to Tom Pointdexter's version for newer support, as well as other language support. To use some features you need tclX, at least 8.0.2 installed. You must have the fcgi development kit 2.0b2.1 or newer to use Fcgi. FastCGI is supported by at least these servers: Apache 1.2.x (with mod_fastcgi 2.0.9), NCSA 1.5 w/FastCGI support, Netscape server w/FastCGI support, Open Market, Stronghold, Bluestone Sapphire web servers. Some problems appear to exist with this code and recent Tcls, resulting in core dumps on Unix. Contact Tom Poindexter for details. Updated: 11/2000 Contact: mailto:fastcgi-developers-request@openmarket.com mailto:tpoindex@nyx.net (Tom Poindexter) [RLH] 10-18--2006: I read a couple things that indicated there is going to be a push to refine and enhance FastCGI and include it with Apache. The idea is to get away from the mod_ and have FastCGI give everyone a robust even playing field. We shall see.
