Just to clarify: Which FastCGI are we talking about? There are two listed on http://modules.apache.org/ . There's the (former?) OpenMarket's http://fastcgi.com/ (mod_fastcgi), with the unclear license, which was last released as version 2.4.2 on 2003-11-24. Does it still work with Apache httpd 2.0.x? Does it work with 2.1.x? There's a more recent snapshot from 2004-04-14, but that is old enough to make me wonder about compatibility. Then there's http://fastcgi.coremail.cn/ (mod_fcgid), is GPL, which implements the FastCGI protocol, and was last released as version 1.0 on 2004-09-14. Is this implementation complete, efficient, comparable to the original mod_fastcgi? Leif
