Initial import of ap2-fastcgi, version 2.4.2 into the NetBSD Packages
Collection. FastCGI provides a high-performance alternative to CGI for writing Web server applications in a variety of languages, including Perl, C, C++, Java, and Python. FastCGI gets its speed by having keeping application processes running between requests. So, unlike CGI, you do not have the overhead of starting up a new process and doing application initialization (e.g. connecting to a database) each time somebody requests a document. This package works with Apache version 2 series. In order to use FastCGI with the version 1.3 series, use www/ap-fastcgi instead.
