FastCGI is a network protocol primarily used by a <span class="emphasis"><em>web server</em></span> to communicate to a | |
<span class="emphasis"><em>FastCGI server</em></span>. | |
FastCGI servers are typically used to serve web content generated by dynamic web languages, primarily | |
<a class="link" href="http://www.php.net/" target="_top">PHP</a>, but also Python, Ruby, Perl and others. | |
</p><p> | |
Web servers that supports FastCGI are, among others, <a class="link" href="http://httpd.apache.org/" target="_top">Apache</a> | |
and <a class="link" href="http://nginx.org/" target="_top">Nginx</a>, and Jetty. | |
Web servers typically act as proxies, converting HTTP requests that they receive from clients (browsers) to | |
FastCGI requests that are forwarded to the FastCGI server. | |
The FastCGI server spawns the dynamic web language interpreter, passing it the information contained | |
in the FastCGI request and a dynamic web language script is executed, producing web content, typically HTML. | |
The web content is then formatted into a FastCGI response that is returned to the web server, which | |
converts it to a HTTP response that is then returned to the client. | |
</p><p> | |
The most well known FastCGI server is the <a class="link" href="http://php-fpm.org/" target="_top">PHP FastCGI Process Manager</a>, | |
or <code class="code">php-fpm</code>. In the following we will assume that <code class="code">php-fpm</code> is used as FastCGI server. | |
</p><p> | |
Jetty can be configured to act as a web server that supports FastCGI, replacing the functionality that | |
is normally provided by Apache or Nginx. | |
This allows users to leverage Jetty features such as HTTP/2, the unique support that Jetty provides for | |
HTTP/2 Push, Jetty's scalability, and of course Jetty's native support for Java Web Standards such as | |
Servlets, JSPs, etc. | |
</p><p> | |
With such configuration, users can deploy their Java Web Applications in Jetty, but also serve their | |
<a class="link" href="http://wordpress.com/" target="_top">WordPress</a> site or blog or their | |
<a class="link" href="https://drupal.org/" target="_top">Drupal</a> site without having to install and manage multiple | |
web servers. | |
