Hi all,
Why does fpm still use fcgi instead of http? What are the advantages (in modern days)?
If it were to speak http, we could most probably avoid the requirement of nginx or similar as
middlewoman, which makes cloud setups (docker, aws-alb, ....) a bit easier and more straight
forward.
What are the thoughts on this? Alternatively the built-in server but with forking capabilities
(similar to fpm) :)
Cheers,
Gunter
