The big one is the HTTP Authentication (?) because, errr, it would have to pass the password in cleartext through a process that would be visible to `ps auxwww` ??? So while it's not technically impossible,
FCGI operates by use of pipes, so any data sent back and forth are not accessible unless you have access to kernel data structures :)
That said, if my Production environment is mod_php, I want my dev environment to be mod_php, because I'd rather not find out the hard way that it makes some subtle but important difference when I get to QA/staging.
Well, if you develop on Windows and deploy on Linux, you have pretty big difference anyway - much bigger than mod_php/fcgi difference. Of course, if you are using apache-specific functions, then there's no way to do it on fcgi.
