    <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;">I already made my
      code work for mod_fcgid as well as IIS. But I found mod_fastcgi to
      be faster than mod_fcgid when it comes to concurrency and request
      queueing. Of course my tests were not very scientific, but this is
      my current impression. Add to this also the lack of support for
      TCP/IP.</p>
    <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;"><br>
    </p>
    <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;">I also found it more
      difficult to work directly with mod_fcgid - it has odd and very
      impatient behaviour concerning named pipes with queued requests. I
      made it work in the end, but overall and without going into more
      details, my impression was that mod_fcgid isn't as
      mature/well-written for developers like me writing their own
      implementation.<br>

    <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;">So it's a pity
      mod_fastcgi isn't being maintained.</p>

        <div>AFAICT, mod_fastcgi hasn't had anyone maintaining it for
          quite some time. However, mod_fcgid is now part of Apache so
          you may consider "upgrading" to that module if you prefer to
          use maintained code.&nbsp;</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>Be aware though that mod_fcgid doesn't support external
          servers and possibly a couple of other features of
          mod_fastcgi.</div>
