I’m pleased to report I’ve made a lot of progress towards getting gdofcgi working with Apache 2.2 and mod_fcgid. The major difference between using NGINX and Apache2 with FastCGI is that NGINX has a query string parser that can be used to pass variables to fastcgi servers. Its convenient, but not very portable.

Instead, its now using qDecoder. qDecoder is a nice CGI / FastCGI library written in C which has a terrific license and lots of really helpful functions for a project like gdofcgi (as well as dbrs2xml).

Its alive, using Ikiwiki:

This is a new project I’m working on. Use of the GD library for graphics generation via FastCGI.
