I hope you do not mind my writing you directly. I feel that my questions are
newbie and it could be worthless disturbing others. I am sorry disturbing you.
Fci-spec.html does not mention process affinity. Where is it detailed?
FastCGI does not deal with how the processes are started, or restarted. This
is
a Web server implementation issue. If this is the case how can the authorizer
tell the Web server:
Hey, this is a user just wanting to log in, starting a session,
for which I need a new process. Please start one!
or: Start one on machine XYZ_SERVER! (load balancing)
or how can it say:
I know this hit comes from user XYZ. Dear Web server, please
issue the hit to the process XYZ_PID on server XYZ_SERVER as this
is the process for this users.
How can an authorizer decide to authorize or unauthorize if it does not get
FCGI_STDIN or at least FCGI_DATA. (I assume FCGI_DATA is equivalent to the CGI
GET parameters, is it.)
Regards,
Peter
