A problem I've just found with our fastcgi script involves when the
REQUEST_METHOD is POST. For some reason there is no CONTENT_LENGTH
passed to the script(I'm still looking into it). When it does the read
the length is 0 so nothing is read to get variables to pass to the
script. We're able to work around that with a default page, but this
could be a possibility to look at.
