## FastCGI Developer's Kit

- doc
  - FastCGI Technical White Paper Motivates FastCGI, then explains the FastCGI interface, FastCGI application roles, the FastCGI application library, server support for FastCGI, and FastCGI performance.
  - Understanding FastCGI Application Performance Why FastCGI applications often run faster than applications coded directly to Web server APIs.
  - FastCGI Developer's Kit
    - How to configure and build the kit for your development platform.
    - How to write applications using the libraries in the kit.
    - Documents `cgi-fcgi`, a tool in the kit that allows you to develop and test FastCGI applications using a Web server that lacks FastCGI support.
  - Open Market FastCGI 1.0 Programmer's Guide Programmer-oriented documentation for developers of applications that run on the Open Market's Secure WebServer 2.0. The content overlaps considerably with Section 3 of the Developer's Kit document.
  - FCGI_Accept.3, FCGI_Finish.3, FCGI_SetExitStatus.3, FCGI_StartFilterData.3, and cgi-fcgi.1 manpages.
  - Integrating FastCGI with Perl How to build FastCGI support into the Perl interpreter and how to write FastCGI applications in Perl.
  - Integrating FastCGI with Tcl How to build FastCGI support into the Tcl interpreter and how to write FastCGI applications in Tcl.
  - Integrating FastCGI with Java How to build Web server applications in Java using FastCGI.
  - FastCGI: A High-Performance Gateway Interface Position paper presented at the workshop "Programming the Web -- a search for APIs", Fifth International World Wide Web Conference, 6 May 1996, Paris, France. A short paper, addressed to an audience of technical specialists.
  - FastCGI Specification document.
    Defines the interface between a FastCGI application and a Web server that supports FastCGI. This is dry stuff, not needed for writing applications!
- include .h files for the FastCGI libraries.
- libfcgi .c files for the FastCGI libraries.
- examples Several example FastCGI programs.
- perl The FastCGI Perl module, FCGI.pm.
- java The FastCGI Java library.
- cgi-fcgi The CGI-to-FastCGI bridge source code.
