mod_scgi incomplete/old

[khera@…]

The documentation for mod_scgi simply refers to mod_fastcgi. However, mod_scgi seems to be based on a much older fastcgi module as the map-extensions configuration variable is not implemented.

Further inspection of the source file differences show what appears to be older style.

Using mod_scgi with a perl application server in our testing has shown it to be significanly faster than with fastcgi; furthermore the perl fastcgi libraries make it extremely difficult to write a standalone server to provide multiple network-based app servers. Therefore it is important to support this protocol.

Also, there is no mod_scgi in component list on this bug tracker :-)

mod_scgi will be replace by mod_proxy_backend_scgi in 1.5.x.
