[FASTCGI] configuring FastCGI for many binaries

[Derek Developer]

Hello!
I am excited to find a list that deal's with Fast CGI, something I have had to wait three years to begin to implement as most web hosts will not install it in their commercial solutions.

I have a nice new IIS ISAPI server and I Immediatly installed FastCGI so I can convert about 20 CGI "scripts" to FastCGI and implement an HTTP communication class that I wrote.

My "scripts" are not really scripts becasue they are written in a C like language and are in fact compiled binaries. Unlike PHP there is not a single executable that you point FastCGI at which in turn hosts the PHP scripts. I have many executables.

My first problem is setting up the fcgiext.ini file. 
I posted in the IIS forum but I don't know if that was the right place under "fast CGI Handler"

I am not sure if I must create an entry for EACH of my cgi.exe executables or if I can just point to the cgi-exe folder so that ANY .exe file will be executed by the name specified in the POST or GET call.

Also, I would like to send raw binary data with a POST statement. I can do this with regular CGI. Is there a preferred method in FastCGI?

Has anyone implemented a Comet server?

many thanks in advance :)
