Pike Module Reference:

Creates a socket for fastcgi communication with a webserver. Returns the file descriptor to be used when creating a FCGI.FCGI() object, or -1 on failure.

The filename of the unix domain socket (or named pipe on WinNT), or an optional host, followed by a colon and a port number for a TCP socket.

The size of the queue used in the listen() call for this socket

Stop accepting new connections. Any calls to accept() after shutdown() has been called will fail. This function is signal handler safe.

Decodes a urlencoded string, replacing "+" with " ", and converting %XX hex codes to their appropriate values. Any invalid %XX codes are removed from the string, while saving as much of the string as possible. For example, "%2r" will become "r".

The urlencoded string.

Encodes a urlencoded string, replacing " " with "+", and converting characters that cannot be in urls to their appropriate %XX hex codes according to RFC 1738.

The string to encode.

A mapping of all HTTP and server variables supplied for this FCGI request.

Creates a new fastcgi request object

The file descriptor to accept on, as returned from open_socket()

Frees the resources allocated to, and closes any previous connection, then accepts a new connection. This function blocks indefinately until a new connection is ready, and returns 0 on failure or 1 on success.

Frees the resources allocated to this connection, and closes it. This function flushes all buffered data to the client's web browser and must be called when done with a request before calling accept() again.

Write a string to the current connection's standard output (someone's web browser). This function takes the same aruments and works just like predef::write

Write a string to the current connection's standard error. This function takes the same aruments and works just like predef::werror

Read data from the current connection's input stream.

The number of bytes to read. If fewer than len bytes are available, read will return all the available data.

Read a single line (including trailing newline) from the current connection's input stream.

Flush the output buffer of the current connection manually. The buffer is flushed automatically when finish or accept are called. Returns 1 on success or 0 on failure.

Returns 1 if the current connection's input stream has been read until EOF, or 0 if it has not.

Returns the most recent error that has occured on the current connection's input stream, or 0 if no error has occured.

Clears any error or EOF indications from the current connection's input stream.

Sets the current connection's input stream to read from the FCGI_DATA area. You must read all data from the input stream before calling this function. Returns 1 on success, or 0 if an error occured.
