Well two protocols can't ever be used in the same program,
Why is that? Can't I have a thread answering fcgi requests while another one answers scgi requests? Or even a single thread that can answer either sort of request?
Hmm, well the program has to bind to port 0, where connections are connected to. I have looked into this and as far as I can tell, there is no efficient way to differentiate between an SCGI request and a FastCGI one: it is possible, but you would have a noticeable overhead to do this. The only situation I can think of where you would have a program accepting with both protocols is when you have a remote SCGI/FastCGI daemon handling requests from different HTTP servers. It doesn't seem sensible to use both protocols from a single server, as choosing one over the other is, IIUC, a configuration issue. In the remote daemon case, why would you not just recompile the program twice, one daemon for each protocol? Regards, Darren
