This looks very interesting, I look forward to checking it out. Implementing FastCGI has always seemed too daunting a task to undertake; I salute you.<div><br></div><div>Are you familiar with the wai package?

Yay! This was a week of hard work. I hope that somebody finds it valuable.<br>

This package is a native implementation of the FastCGI protocol,<br>
allowing Haskell to work with any webserver that supports it. It makes<br>
no attempt to imitate the interface of the cgi-3000 and fastcgi-3000<br>
packages, because that API is tied too heavily to legacy interfaces,<br>
as with its handling of exceptions, logging, and time. Its advantage<br>
over those packages is primarily in the area of clean exception<br>
management and better control structure which allows more versatility<br>
in processing requests which are not simple GETs. In particular, POST<br>
of large files should be possible, as should server-push responses<br>
which return content a piece at a time. Also, of course, as a native<br>
implementation, there is no dependency on a C library, which<br>
simplifies the install process.<br>
