<snip> 1. I know you have a section on "Server Support" (which seems to be a placeholder atm) but which web servers have you tested this with? Have you only tried this with apache? Is the library code portable?
I have access to apache 1.3.*/2.* and lighttpd 1.4.*/1.5.* on windows, cygwin and linux, but I haven't been testing on all of them yet since there are more fundamental things that need to be done first. :-( 2. Somewhat related to the above if the library code is
portable will the FASTCGI support you are building in only support pipes or will it also support TCP sockets? The reason I am asking is that IIS7 will be providing support for the FASTCGI protocol (see http://www.iis.net/default.aspx?tabid=1000051 for more info).
Currently Boost.Asio doesn't support pipes, so this library won't either, so it uses TCP sockets. It's undecided whether, when pipe support comes about, the use of the two will be a run-time or compile-time choice. Over the summer the leaning has changed from run- to compile-time, but this is debatable... Regards, Darren
