2.4.6
*) Fix a bug I introduced in 2.4.4 that broke dynamic application
restarts. Reported by [Yar <yarodin gmail.com>]
2.4.4
*) Allow FastCgiServer and FastCgiExternal server directives
to be used within VirtualHosts (again). Add docs to explain
potential accessibility from other VirtualHosts.
[Rob Saccoccio <robs fastcgi.com>]
*) Check for a null filename in the request to prevent an NPE that
was occurring when a WebSphere Apache module was also in use.
[Fabian Pehla <fabian pehla.de>}
*) [AP2] Call ap_set_content_type() rather than setting the content_type
directly so that the AddOutputFilterByType directive can work correctly.
[Thomas 'Freaky' Hurst <tom.hurst clara.net>]
*) Don't use initializers for timeval structs because on 64bit
MVS there is a padding field in between tv_sec and tv_usec.
[Eric Covener <covener gmail.com>]
*) [AP2] Add support for nph (non parsed header) scripts.
[Peter Zijlstra <peterz nedstat.com>]
*) Abort the request if the client connection ends prematurely.
[Peter Zijlstra <peterz nedstat.com>]
*) Introduce the apr_* backward compatibility macros removed
in Apache 2.2. ["Daniel Smertnig" <daniel.smertnig gmail.com>]
*) Fix a problem (remove install-modules) in Makefile.AP2 under
Apache 2.2. ["Daniel Smertnig" <daniel.smertnig gmail.com>]
*) Don't count an application exit towards the number of
failures when doing restart backoff handling if the exit
status is 0. ["Rob Saccoccio" <robs fastcgi.com>]
*) [*nix] Don't use suexec when there is no user/group in effect.
This change is consistent with Apache2 handling. Identified
by ["Florian Effenberger" <floeff arcor.de>].
*) Add a -min-server-life option to the FastCgiConfig and
FastCgiServer directives to provide better control of the
restart backoff feature. ["Benjamin Osheroff" <ben gimbo.net>]
Allow apache22 in some more case and add a hack to devel/subversion
to determine the module by the state of the apache22 option.
This comes from www/ap2-subversion and should be fixed to properly
use build options or so.
OK agc@
thus leaving the package dangling if apache2 were to be removed or upgraded.
Change to using apache2/buildlink3.mk, like the other ap2-* modules do,
and bump PKGREVISION for the implicit DEPENDS change.
Collection.
FastCGI provides a high-performance alternative to CGI for writing Web
server applications in a variety of languages, including Perl, C, C++,
Java, and Python. FastCGI gets its speed by having keeping application
processes running between requests. So, unlike CGI, you do not have the
overhead of starting up a new process and doing application initialization
(e.g. connecting to a database) each time somebody requests a document.
This package works with Apache version 2 series. In order to use FastCGI
with the version 1.3 series, use www/ap-fastcgi instead.
