= fcgi - The New generation of FastCGI library for Ruby.

Version 0.9.2.1

== Depends

=== C version

  • ((<libfcgi|URL:http://www.fastcgi.com/#TheDevKit>))(FastCGI Developer's Kit)

=== Pure Ruby Version

  • StringIO

== Install

$ gem install fcgi

== Usage === Class Method --- FCGI.accept Returns FCGI instance --- FCGI.each

--- FCGI.each_request

--- FCGI.is_cgi?

--- FCGI.each_cgi Automatically detects whether this program is running under the FastCGI environment, and generates a 'CGI' type object for each request. Also installs signal handlers for graceful handling of SIGPIPE (which may occur if a client gives up on a request before it is complete) and SIGUSR1 (generated by Apache for a 'graceful' exit)

If you are using the HTML output methods you can also pass the HTML type
e.g. FCGI.each_cgi('html3') do ... end

However, you should beware that the CGI library is quite slow when
used in this way, as it dynamically adds a large number of methods
to itself each time a new instance is created.

=== Instance Method --- FCGI#finish Finish

--- FCGI#in Returns Stream or StringIO

--- FCGI#out Returns Stream or StringIO

--- FCGI#err Returns Stream or StringIO

--- FCGI#env Returns Environment(Hash)

== Sample

Using the FastCGI native interface:

#!/usr/bin/ruby require "fcgi"

FCGI.each {|request| out = request.out out.print "Content-Type: text/plain\r\n" out.print "\r\n" out.print Time.now.to_s request.finish }

Using the CGI-compatible interface, which works both as a standalone CGI and under FastCGI with no modifications:

#!/usr/bin/ruby require "fcgi"

FCGI.each_cgi {|cgi| name = cgi['name'][0] puts cgi.header puts "You are #{name} " if name puts "Connecting from #{cgi.remote_addr}" }

Note: you can't reference CGI environment variables using ENV when under FastCGI. It is recommended that you use the CGI-generated methods, e.g. cgi.remote_addr as above.

If you need to access environment variables directly, perhaps extra ones set in your Apache config, then use cgi.env_table['REMOTE_ADDR'] instead. This isn't quite as portable because env_table is a private method in the standard CGI library.
