Re: Possible serious bug in mod_fastcgi-2.4.6-AP22.dll

Greetings,

It's not so much that mod_fastcgi isn't supported, just that it's been =

pretty stable.  There are a few people paying attention who will try to =

roll up a patch now and then.  The original supporters of the code, =

alas, haven't been writing web apps for a number of years, so we don't =

have a good way to test changes.

My suggestion is to post your diff and encourage some people who might =

be affected to try it out, and we'll make sure it's listed for the next =

"official" patch, which has basically been about once a year or so just =

to roll up user contributions that go by.

Also, if anyone out there feels sufficiently up to the task to support =

the mod_fastcgi code base, by all means, get in touch.

Cheers,

David.
