That sounds very handy!!! I also use Powtils for our CGI applications. What is the actual difference between FastCGI and CGI?
You may find all the differences within the article I posted above. But the most wonderful thing is FCGI lives forever since it's a separate application apart from the web server (which acts as an FCGI client).
Does FastCGI also work under most web servers?
FastCGI is indeed a forgotten treasure. It's not a new technology actually, most common web servers had supported it already though disabled by default (or requires additional installation). Since SAAS with very high load hits become common nowadays, people are starting to look at this technology, which IMO is very scalable. That's why some web frameworks/applications requires it (Ruby? Django?).
If your web server doesn't support FCGI, ExtPascal has a CGI-to-FCGI gateway that redirect a CGI request to an FCGI service independently (as long as web server supports CGI protocol).
