Scheme Programming Language :: Is FastCGI dead in the Scheme world?


	Is FastCGI dead in the Scheme world? Hey y'all - Due to hosting limitations, I am needing to look at writing some FastCGI code, but I find that the most readily found packages (in Scheme) all seem to be dead. Or at least as linked to from the Scheme Wiki and the google searches I've done so far. The FastCGI Proxy code seems to be gone. MzScheme's CGI module is in place, but the advertised FastCGI doesn't appear in the HelpDesk. Perhaps I don;t understand how to use what exists correctly to implement FastCGI though. The Guile FastCGI bindings appear to be defunct. Am I missing anything? david David Rush skrev: > Due to hosting limitations, I am needing to look at writing some > FastCGI code, but I find that the most readily found packages (in > Scheme) all seem to be dead.

A search for fast cgi at <http://www.scheme.dk/search-plt/> reveals exactly one document, the documentation for (lib "net.ss"). <http://ja.soegaard.net/planet/html/collects/net/doc.txt> So I am afraid you haven't missed anything. I believe (but that might be wrong) Solsona was the last one to work on fastcgi, so it might be worth emailing him. -- Jens Axel Sgaard Jens Axel Sgaard skrev: > A search for > fast cgi > at > <http://www.scheme.dk/search-plt/> > reveals exactly one document, the documentation > for (lib "net.ss"). > <http://ja.soegaard.net/planet/html/collects/net/doc.txt> > So I am afraid you haven't missed anything.

I believe there is some fastcgi code you can examine in the Magic project [1], but I still think that project is Alpha. It's pretty lean and clean though, so have a look at see what you think.

Chicken has an egg, as Felix pointed out. It shouldn't be too hard to add FastCGI support to any scheme that makes it easy to interface to C libraries. Joachim
