obj.conf

The FastCGI plug-in introduces the following SAFs that can be referenced in obj.conf:

• auth-fastcgi

• responder-fastcgi

• filter-fastcgi

• error-fastcgi

For example, the following obj.conf code example configures the server to forward requests in the /fcgi/php and /fcgi/perl URI space to fcgi.php and fcgi.perl respectively, this in turn is configured to pass the requests to FastCGI module for further processing.

<Object name="default">
NameTrans fn="assign-name"
from="/fcgi/php(|/*)"
name="fcgi.php"
NameTrans fn="assign-name"
from="/fcgi/perl(|/*)"
name="fcgi.perl"
...
Service type="magnus-internal/perl" fn="filter-fastcgi"\
<other parameters required for running Filter FastCGI processes>
....
</Object>

<Object name="fcgi.php">
PathCheck fn="auth-fastcgi" 
<other parameters required for running Authorizer FastCGI processes>
Service fn="responder-fastcgi" 
<other parameters required for running Responder FastCGI processes>
</Object>

<Object name="fcgi.perl">
PathCheck fn="auth-fastcgi" 
<other parameters required for running Authorizer FastCGI processes>
Service type="magnus-internal/perl" fn="responder-fastcgi" 
<other parameters required for running Responder FastCGI processes>
Error fn="error-fastcgi" error-reason="Fastcgi Connection Error" 
error-url="http://www.foo.com/errorPage1.html"
</Object>

FastCGI SAFs can be invoked in different ways as mentioned above; that is, defining different Objects for different URL patterns or mapping them to different MIME types.
