<h3>Summary</h3>
<p>This module <em>requires</em> the service of <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy.html">mod_proxy</a></code>. It provides support for the
<a href="http://python.ca/scgi/protocol.txt">SCGI protocol, version
1</a>.</p>
<p>Thus, in order to get the ability of handling the SCGI protocol,
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy.html">mod_proxy</a></code> and <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy_scgi.html">mod_proxy_scgi</a></code> have to
be present in the server.</p>
<div class="warning"><h3>Warning</h3>
<p>Do not enable proxying until you have <a href="mod_proxy.html#access">secured your server</a>. Open proxy
servers are dangerous both to your network and to the Internet at
large.</p>

<p>The <code class="directive">ProxySCGIInternalRedirect</code> enables the backend
to internally redirect the gateway to a different URL. This feature
origins in <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_cgi.html">mod_cgi</a></code>, which internally redirects the
response, if the response status is <code>OK</code> (<code>200</code>) and
the response contains a <code>Location</code> header and its value starts
with a slash (<code>/</code>). This value is interpreted as a new local
URL the apache internally redirects to.</p>
<p><code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy_scgi.html">mod_proxy_scgi</a></code> does the same as
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_cgi.html">mod_cgi</a></code> in this regard, except that you can turn off the
feature.</p>

<p>The <code class="directive">ProxySCGISendfile</code> directive enables the
SCGI backend to let files serve directly by the gateway. This is useful
performance purposes -- the httpd can use <code>sendfile</code> or other
optimizations, which are not possible if the file comes over the backend
socket.</p>
<p>The <code class="directive">ProxySCGISendfile</code> argument determines the
gateway behaviour:</p>
<dl>
<dt><code>Off</code></dt>
<dd>No special handling takes place.</dd>
<dt><code>On</code></dt>
<dd>The gateway looks for a backend response header called
<code>X-Sendfile</code> and interprets the value as filename to serve. The
header is removed from the final response headers. This is equivalent to
<code>ProxySCGIRequest X-Sendfile</code>.</dd>
<dt>anything else</dt>
<dd>Similar to <code>On</code>, but instead of the hardcoded header name
the argument is applied as header name.</dd>
</dl>
<div class="example"><h3>Example</h3><p><code>
# Use the default header (X-Sendfile)<br />
ProxySCGISendfile On<br />
<br />
# Use a different header<br />
ProxySCGISendfile X-Send-Static
</code></p></div>
