I thought I would share with the community. Any fastcgi binary application compiled with Microsoft (msvc 8, etc) compilers and running against a mod_fastcgi compiled under cygwin with a version of 1.5.24 or earlier will fail. The cygwin libraries do not emulate dup2() in such a way that the duplicated handle is reliably inheritable by a child process. This causes the fastcgi application to fail if it uses a tcp/ip connection for interprocess communication. There's a discussion of the problem here: http://www.nabble.com/Socket-inheritance-with-fork-dup2-exec-td11243160.html Jay Sprenkle From eddie at mailforce.net Sat Sep 6 18:50:06 2008 From: eddie at mailforce.net (Eddie) Date: Sat, 06 Sep 2008 16:50:06 -0600 Subject: [FASTCGI] A C++ FastCGI Library Message-ID: <1220741406.6731.9.camel@localhost> Hey guys, I have been working on a pure C++ FastCGI library for some time now and have LGPLed it. I've got it up at http://fastcgipp.com for now. Lot's of good documentation and tutorials. I would definitely appreciate any ideas or comments you guys could offer. There are a few issues I am running into that I'm hoping someone could give me some insight into. For one, check out the upload example in the SVN trunk. For two, are there any plans to implement the ability to multiples requests over a single connection in mod_fastcgi? It just seems like there would be so much less overhead doing it that way as opposed to dealing with opening/closing numerous connections for every request. -- Eddie -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: <1b5f39a10809111728y3c9a4632l96a8c45346ac3ed0@mail.gmail.com> After much research I believe fastcgi cannot be made to work on windows when communicating via sockets. "The WSADuplicateSocket function is introduced to enable socket sharing across processes. A source process calls WSADuplicateSocket to obtain a special WSAPROTOCOL_INFO structure for a target process identifier. It uses some interprocess communications (IPC) mechanism to pass the contents of this structure to a target process." http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms740478(VS.85).aspx Since there is no other defined interprocess communications method between the web server and a fastcgi process there's no generic way to pass this information. Can anyone validate this? If so, how do I go about getting the FAQ on fastcgi.com updated? There seems to be a LOT of confusion on this issue.

Does the apache mod_fastcgi module by default assume that the fastcgi application can not handle multiple connections? I ask this because I can not get apache to try and open more than one connection to my applications. I have tested to make sure the library can receive multiple connections by connecting to the socket manually from another program and it can. I set up a request handler to wait five seconds before completing it's reply and apache always waits the five seconds before starting another request. I figured this would have something to do with my library not answering management GET_VALUE records but I have yet to see one come from the apache module. Does the modules perhaps send the management records through some other channel? Being instead of connecting to the applications file descriptor 0? I am suspicious because I noticed the file descriptors for my requests are starting at 6, not 3. This makes me wonder if some other data was send to me on 3,4 and 5 (or maybe 1 and 2 as well). Another aspect of management records that I am unclear of is who is supposed to close the connection after everything (assuming a connection is created in the same way that a requests connection can be)? With request connections, there is a field that clarifies that, but nothing of the sort with management records. -- Eddie -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

It states: > The FastCGI protocol supports a feature, described in the > specificiation as "multiplexing", that allows a single client-server > connection to be simultaneously shared by multiple requests.

It is already a shame that it can't multiplex over a single connection, but if this documentation is incorrect (which is looking like the case), then it is almost no better than normal CGI. All this talk has been going around regarding designing FastCGI applications with the ability to process concurrent requests but they were being queued by mod_fastcgi anyway! Now assuming all this is incorrect speculation and the module does support simultaneous connections, how would one figure out how to make it utilize them? And any thoughts on the management records and whether or not the module actually uses them? There is no mention of them in the documentation so I am going to assume it doesn't. I might try fooling around with mod_fcgi and see if that one will do simultaneous requests. If not, then it really "sucks" to have written a protocol library to find that no webservers actually support the protocol properly. Is anyone actually developing the apache mod_fastcgi? -- Eddie -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Rob _____ From: fastcgi-developers-bounces+robs=chelsea.net at fastcgi.com [mailto:fastcgi-developers-bounces+robs=chelsea.net at fastcgi.com] On Behalf Of Philipp Dunkel Sent: Tuesday, January 22, 2008 5:16 PM To: fastcgi-developers at fastcgi.com Subject: [FASTCGI] Apache 2 Bug (Patch Included) Hi everyone, we are using mod_fastcgi for a project of ours and found that we were having problems using OutputFilters under Apache2. After some analysis the problem seemed to be that mod_fastcgi would not correctly terminate the bucket brigades it sends down the filter chain. It would never ever send an EOS bucket. Due to this OutputFilters such as mod_deflate would get screwed up. I have attached a patch to this email that fixes the problem for us in the hopes that it may be useful for the community at large. If you have any questions about what is being done here, feel free to mail me at any time. And of course I release all rights to anything in this patch to the community of mod_fastcgi under the same license as mod_fastcgi.

To pass the > HTTP_AUTHORIZATION header, you have to specify "-pass-header > HTTP_AUTHORIZATION (not "-pass-header AUTHORIZATION"). I don't mean to offend, but have you actually tried this? Let me make a very concrete example: I take a standard mod_fastcgi 2.4.6 and a standard PHP install with default configuration and the following PHP script: Then I load the script, enter some dummy credentials when the browser shows the auth dialog for the first time and hit cancel for the second time, I get the following results: 1) FastCgiConfig -pass-header HTTP_AUTHORIZATION No additional CGI environment variable is passed to PHP (note that this does not even consider whether PHP interprets them correctly or not, there simply is no additional variable there) 2) FastCgiConfig -pass-header AUTHORIZATION An additional variable "AUTHORIZATION" with the contents of the Authorization header is added to the CGI environment passed to PHP. Also, this is consistent with the code of mod_fastcgi, see , lines 180 an following: for ( ; i; --i, ++elt) { const char *val = ap_table_get(fr->r->headers_in, *elt); if (val) { ap_table_setn(fr->r->subprocess_env, *elt, val); } } If I supply -pass-header FOO, this code would look up FOO in fr->r->headers_in (which contains the raw HTTP header names unencoded, i.e. ap_table_get(fr->r->headers_in, "Host") will work but ap_table_get(fr->r->headers_in, "HTTP_HOST") won't!) and then it will set the environment variable FOO in the subprocess_env so it can be passed to the FastCGI process. It will not change the header name at all. So, if you do -pass-header HTTP_AUTHORIZATION, mod_fastcgi will try to lookup the HTTP header HTTP_AUTHORIZATION which is not sent by the browser (a browser would actually have to send "HTTP_AUTHORIZATION: foo" in order for such a header to appear in headers_in) and since it's not set, it does nothing. If you do -pass-header AUTHORIZATION, mod_fastcgi will try to lookup the HTTP header AUTHORIZATION, which is sent by the browser, but then it will set the CGI env variable with the name AUTHORIZATION. If you compare this to the normal Apache code that copies the HTTP headers to the standard CGI environment (and leaves out AUTHORIZATION for security purposes which don't apply to FastCGI), you will see that the standard code uppercases all header names, replaces all non-alnum chars with underscores and prepends HTTP_ in front of the header name before it sets the environment variable name - which is exactly what the CGI spec requires.

I use mod_fcgid (long story) and have noticed the same "bug" there too. I too have had to patch the source to pass the AUTH header as HTTP_AUTH to cgi's, did not know this also relates to other client headers. But I like ur patch Christian, lots cleaner than my hack. It fixes the issue, my hack only sidesteps it. Once this commes out to the repositories I will restart the fcgid vs fastcgi discussion at work again :) I seem to remember another bug propping up on php4, what version did u try with your example ? I did patch our binaries long long time ago and I can't quite remember why I added extra code to decode the Auth header and pass it's components (PHP_AUTH_USER/PHP_AUTH_PW) to php4.

That allows mod_fastcgi to start the Catalyst processes (and to construct the unix domain socket). WRT standalone server mode, my guess is that the problem your seeing is permissions related. Make sure that the socket's file permissions grant the user/group your running httpd as with access or try using a TCP port instead.

The problem is that it ignores SetHandler and AddHandler and passes everything through the fastcgi handler. I've tracked this down to the fixups() function in mod_fastcgi.c, which looks to see if the path is in one of the fastcgi handled paths and explicitly sets the handler to fastcgi-script. This causes a problem when using php in fastcgi mode, as the module forces every single request through the php interpreter, rather than just the php files. The result is that every request ends up having a content type of text/html. The fixups() function was added some time between 22-Sep-2002 and 19-Oct-2002 with the change log entry of: *) Eliminate the need for SetHandler or AddHandler with static or external applications. The solution would be to remove the fixups function and document that if a users wants the old behaviour, they should add a Sethandler fastcgi-script option in their apache config. I can provide a patch if needs be. -- David Pashley david at davidpashley.com Nihil curo de ista tua stulta superstitione.
