FastCGI Developer's Kit

doc
- FastCGI Technical White Paper Motivates FastCGI, then explains the FastCGI interface, FastCGI application roles, the FastCGI application library, server support for FastCGI, and FastCGI performance.
- Understanding FastCGI Application Performance Why FastCGI applications often run faster than applications coded directly to Web server APIs.
- FastCGI Developer's Kit
  - How to configure and build the kit for your development platform.
  - How to write applications using the libraries in the kit.
  - Documents cgi-fcgi, a tool in the kit that allows you to develop and test FastCGI applications using a Web server that lacks FastCGI support.
- Open Market FastCGI 1.0 Programmer's Guide Programmer-oriented documentation for developers of applications that run on the Open Market's Secure WebServer 2.0. The content overlaps considerably with Section 3 of the Developer's Kit document.
- FCGI_Accept.3, FCGI_Finish.3, FCGI_SetExitStatus.3, FCGI_StartFilterData.3, and cgi-fcgi.1 manpages.
- Integrating FastCGI with Perl How to build FastCGI support into the Perl interpreter and how to write FastCGI applications in Perl.
- Integrating FastCGI with Tcl How to build FastCGI support into the Tcl interpreter and how to write FastCGI applications in Tcl.
- Integrating FastCGI with Java How to build Web server applications in Java using FastCGI.
- FastCGI: A High-Performance Gateway Interface Position paper presented at the workshop "Programming the Web -- a search for APIs", Fifth International World Wide Web Conference, 6 May 1996, Paris, France. A short paper, addressed to an audience of technical specialists.
- FastCGI Specification document.
  Defines the interface between a FastCGI application and a Web server that supports FastCGI. This is dry stuff, not needed for writing applications!
include .h files for the FastCGI libraries.
libfcgi .c files for the FastCGI libraries.
examples Several example FastCGI programs.
perl The FastCGI Perl module, FCGI.pm.
