Hi, Cool, I did not know httpd could do this. The commit (git mirror) says: " commit 2204991274ff67f80cfd592f8470cdaca7a906e9 Author: reyk <[email protected]> Date: Sat Aug 2 11:52:00 2014 +0000 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&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup So maybe it was a debugging feature. -- Kind regards, Hiltjo
