Feature #982
closedmod_scgi incomplete/old
Description
The documentation for mod_scgi simply refers to mod_fastcgi. However, mod_scgi seems to be based on a much older fastcgi module as the map-extensions configuration variable is not implemented.
Further inspection of the source file differences show what appears to be older style.
Using mod_scgi with a perl application server in our testing has shown it to be significanly faster than with fastcgi; furthermore the perl fastcgi libraries make it extremely difficult to write a standalone server to provide multiple network-based app servers. Therefore it is important to support this protocol.
Also, there is no mod_scgi in component list on this bug tracker :-)

mod_scgi will be replace by mod_proxy_backend_scgi in 1.5.x.

Would you be more specific about what you're looking for in mod_scgi? The SCGI protocol hasn't changed and the module still works.
Are you looking for some of the configuration parameters that are available to mod_fastcgi but not mod_scgi? map-extension? Or are there others, too?
