does anyone know if the TCustomFCgiApplication is multithreaded ?
No, it is not.
It's on my todo list, but has low priority.
While enhancing TCustomFCgiApplication regarding threads,
TThread.Synchronize, TThread.Queue would need to be usable.
I suppose (in FCGI or similar) a "Thread" should be able to be kept
running while the Browser is disconnected (no HTTP request running).
IMHO a very interesting issue here is Server to Browser signaling. In
the past I learned that the straight CGI-compatible method ("Comet" and
friends) does not work decently but nowadays, "WEBSockets" is supported
by all relevant browsers and can be used for this.
TCustomFCgiApplication is used in Lazarus (wbelazideinterf.pas).
While enhancing it regarding threads, IMHO it would be a most sensible
goal to do a Lazarus "Application type" / "WidgetType", that
additionally to TThread.Queue, allows for TTimer and
Application.QueueAsyncCall.
