===================================================
Protocol
--------
SCGI is a protocol for connecting web application servers to HTTP
servers (e.g. Apache). For typical applications, it provides much
better performance verses using CGI. See http://python.ca/scgi/ for
details on the SCGI protocol including a specification.
Software
--------
See doc/guide.html for an overview of how SCGI works. Below is a
list of components included in this package.
scgi
----
A Python package implementing the server side of the SCGI
protocol.
apache1
-------
An Apache 1.3 module that implements the client side of the
protocol. See the README file in the apache1 directory for more
details.
apache2
-------
An Apache 2.0 module that implements the client side of the
protocol. See the README file in the apache2 directory for more
details.
cgi2scgi
--------
A CGI script that forwards requests to a SCGI server. This is
useful in situations where you cannot or do not want to use the
mod_scgi module. Because the CGI script is small performance is
quite good.
To use, edit the source and specify the correct address and port
of the SCGI server. Next, compile using a C compiler, e.g.:
$ cc -o myapp.cgi cgi2scgi.c
Finally, put the script in the proper directory (depends on web
server software used).
Source
------
The source code is managed using git. You can checkout a copy using
the command:
git clone http://quixote.ca/src/scgi.git
License
-------
The SCGI package is copyrighted and made available under open source
licensing terms. See the LICENSE.txt file for the details. The
CHANGES.txt file summarizes recent changes made to the package.
