Thanks for pointing this out. I worked with jmc on rewording the
fastcgi socket description a bit.

I'm not entirely sure you are real.

That explains by it is not documented and the somewhat awkward syntax.
Will take care with future use cases. Thanks for the info!

Hi,

Cool, I did not know httpd could do this. The commit (git mirror) says:

"
commit 2204991274ff67f80cfd592f8470cdaca7a906e9
Author: reyk 
Date:   Sat Aug 2 11:52:00 2014 +

Allow to specify a FastCGI TCP socket on localhost (eg. :9000).  Used
for debugging, you should prefer local UNIX sockets, but it helped to
find an issue that will be fixed with the next commit.
"

CVS server_fci.c rev 1.9:
http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/src/usr.sbin/httpd/server_fcgi.c?rev=1.9=text/x-cvsweb-markup

So maybe it was a debugging feature.

httpd.conf(5) man page

2019-02-02 Thread Daniel Gracia
Hi there!

httpdd FastCGI interface can connect seamlessly to a local TCP port,
but this is not documented on the man page.

Went to the source and found the syntax to be a little awkward (maybe
a quick fix?). Anyway, allowed me running flask/flup/bottle pretty
straightforward.

Regards!
