How to spawn a fastcgi process in windows natively?

Hello,

We're making a small http server which has fastcgi support (mainly for php
for now).

I've made a FastCGI "spawner" function which works in unix with
fork/dup/socketstuff.

The problem I have now is that I can't figure out how to do this in windows?

I need a native (winapi, no cygwin or such) solution.

I've found out CreateProcess which can send environment variables and
inherit handles to the "child" in windows, but it can't continue to execute
my code (so I can't start to listen for UDP on handle 0)

The only way I come to think of is to first make a "helper" program which
will act as a "child". Then from our server execute the program which will
do the Listen stuff, and then CreateProcess into PHP or whatever.

This is however troublesome to watch from the server (eg: the status of the
final "child")

How can I directly (eg: right from the server) spawn a fcgi process?


Thanks,

Ales Katona
