Handling termination in Fast CGI on Windows IIS servers

Question

Finding windows FastCGI help is proving very difficult. Any help would be greatly apprciated.

The concept of FastCGi is that the process survives a request allowing you to maintain state between calls. This means you do not have the overhead of opening databases etc between calls.

Apart from that, FastCGI is fully multiplexed: http://cryp.to/publications/fastcgi/#MULTIPLEXING

The problem lies in the C API

The source for libfcgi.dll is available here: http://www.fastcgi.com/drupal/node/5

This is not supported by MS as anyone connected with FCGI or IIS points out in a hurry

Answer 1

A new windows FastCGI library was needed to implement the FastCGI SIGTERM handler www.coastrd.com
