| 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>, <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="literal">php-fpm</code>. |
| In the following we will assume that <code class="literal">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 not only 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.</p></div></div><script type="text/javascript"> |
