FastCGI is a fast, open, and secure Web server interface that solves the
|
|
performance problems inherent in CGI without introducing any of the new
|
|
problems associated with writing applications to lower-level Web server APIs.
|
|
|
|
Modules to support FastCGI can be plugged into Web server APIs such as Apache
|
|
API, NSAPI, and ISAPI. Key considerations in designing FastCGI included
|
|
minimizing the cost of migrating CGI applications (including applications
|
|
written in popular scripting languages such as Perl), supporting both
|
|
single-threaded and multi-threaded application programming, supporting
|
|
distributed configurations for scaling and high availability, and generalizing
|
|
the roles that gateway applications can play beyond CGI's "responder" role.
