3. Technical Description
3.1 New module, "mod_proxy_scgi"
Apache HTTP Server version 2.2.14, includes a new module,
"mod_proxy_scgi" [4]. It provides support for the SCGI protocol,
version 1 and it depends on "mod_proxy" module.
This module will not be enabled by default. This project will
provide a sample configuration file, "mod_proxy_scgi.conf"
within /etc/apache2/[version]/samples-conf.d directory. To
enable this module, user will copy this sample file to
/etc/apache2/[version]/conf.d directory and update the
directives to specify the address of the SCGI application and
the web server URI where it should be accessed.
3.2. New Configuration Directives
"mod_proxy_scgi" apache module introduces two new configuration
directives as listed below.
"ProxySCGIInternalRedirect" Directive: This directive enables the
backend to internally redirect the gateway to a different URL.
"ProxySCGISendfile" Directive: This directive enables the SCGI backend
to let files serve directly by the gateway.
More information on these directives can be found here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy_scgi.html
