re: [PHP-DEV] sapi/fhttpd + other sapi/cgi related things..

Seems I got unsubscribed and missed this email. sapi/fastgi is lacking in code that exists already in sapi/cgi, so I combined them several months ago. The idea is to depricate sapi/fastcgi in favor of the combined cgi/fastcgi module. libfcgi code from fastcgi.com is full of calls to exit() making it a bad thing since you generaly want to clean up if there is an error. I've done the work on the windows side to remove that issue, so that is why there is a libfcgi directory under sapi/cgi. The build system for linux needs to introduce a --with-fastcgi or even better, --without-fastcgi, which will set the define PHP_FASTCGI for the sapi/cgi compile, and include the libfci library as needed.

[Download message RAW]

    While trying to make Andrei happy and come up with --disable-cgi
    option, I noticed that there is really nice little mess in there..

    First of all, status of fhttpd...last version of it was released
    in 17-May-99..also last real updates to this code seem to have
    happened in PHP3. Can we get rid of this (most likely not even working)
    piece of code?

    Second issue, why is the fastcgi related files all over the place? :)
    There is sapi/fastcgi/ directory which has the config.m4 file and
    some other stuff. Then there is also some files under sapi/cgi/libfcgi/
    which don't seem to be used anywhere? Why aren't those under
    sapi/fastcgi/ ??
