[FASTCGI] A new newbie -> use a pure socket for communictaion

[M. Frey]

Hi Jay

Thanks for your answer. And Yes, I'm working on Linux. So any Windows 
limitations don't affect.

Let me state more precisely: In the code fragment I wrote the wrong 
socket path. Of course the socket path is similar to the one specified 
in lighttpd.conf -> /var/run/lighttpd/fastcgitest.socket

It still doesn't work. And lighttpd returns "connect failed: Permission 
denied"

Am I completely  wrong trying to realize a socket connection using 
"fcgi_stdio.h"? Or do I have to use the "fcgio.h" header to achieve this?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Maurus
