I'd love to have a pointer to a server that *does* support it - it'd help my
testing immensely.

The FastCGI spec does allow an application to instantly end a request with
an FCGI_OVERLOADED packet. It's a limited form of flow control (as I
understand it) but a clever web server should be able to use this to keep an
application running ok, shouldn't it?

Would be really interested to know what views FastCGI people hold on this?


I can't say I know anything about how webservers implement FastCGI, but I'm
very interested in the multiplexing connection situation too.

Darren
