    PHP-FastCGI?

    I'm working on a webhost that seems to have an undocumented feature.

    I inadvertently coded a link to "mydomain.c om//" - with TWO
    trailing slashes.

    When I clicked the link, Apache returned this error:

    -+-+-+-+-+-+
    403 Forbidden
    You don't have permission to access
    /cgi-sys/php-fastcgi//index.php on this server.

    You may need to create an index.html page or enable the
    directory browsing by creating an .htaccess file containing
    "Options +Indexes".
    -+-+-+-+-+

    I have a cgi-sys, but I have no idea what this "fastcgi" stuff
    is about.

    Anyone seen this before?

      Or something in httpd.conf... What OS are you running?

      Basically (and with a lot of oversimplificat ion), it's plain old CGI
      executable, but resident in memory, not loaded from disk at
      every request and unloaded upon completion. For more
      information, click around www.fastcgi.com...

      Nope. One of my sites runs on a FastCGI installation (FreeBSD
      + Apache); accessing http://www.mysite.com// just gives me
      /index.php...

      Cheers,

          I checked the web site (of course) and now I understand HOW it
          works (residing in memory connection pooling) - but I swear,
          after 15 minutes there I still can't figure out what features it
          exposes.

          I'm (mildy) concerned about having a CGI that I don't know what
          it does.

          What's particularly weird is how it reports that it resides in a
          subdirectory of cgi-bin when I don't have any subdirectories in
          CGI-bin.
