Re: FCGI application testing

You could write it so that it can still function as a "regular" CGI, which
isn't much work, at which point you could just feed it inputs on STDIN
and get the results on STDOUT/STDERR by running it on the command lnie.

Or you could set up your app as an external FCGI server, then just open
sockets to it directly for testing.  Granted, this means you have to add
your own code to deal with listening on the socket and handling requests,
so this may be using a sledge hammer to crack a walnut.
