This looks very interesting, I look forward to checking it out. Implementing FastCGI has always seemed too daunting a task to undertake; I salute you. Are you familiar with the wai package? If so, do you believe your package is amenable to either itself adapting the wai, or having a wrapper built on top of it? Michael On Thu, Mar 18, 2010 at 8:14 PM, Dan Knapp wrote:

Yay! This was a week of hard work. I hope that somebody finds it valuable.

This package is a native implementation of the FastCGI protocol, allowing Haskell to work with any webserver that supports it. It makes no attempt to imitate the interface of the cgi-3000 and fastcgi-3000 packages, because that API is tied too heavily to legacy interfaces, as with its handling of exceptions, logging, and time. Its advantage over those packages is primarily in the area of clean exception management and better control structure which allows more versatility in processing requests which are not simple GETs. In particular, POST of large files should be possible, as should server-push responses which return content a piece at a time. Also, of course, as a native implementation, there is no dependency on a C library, which simplifies the install process.
