Getting Started

Get jfcgihelper.FCGIRequest, give FCGIRequest.reciveRequest(Socket) a Socket that you are sure it is to a FastCGI client (webserver).

Store this FCGIRequest. Get parameters from request.getParameters() as a java.uil.Properties, input stream from request.getInputStream, output stream from request.getOutputStream(), and error output stream from request.getErrorStream(). Send data to output stream and send text you want the web server to keep to error output stream. Set appStatus by using either request.appStatus or request.setAppStatus(). When you are done, do request.close(). Here is a little example:

import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
import jfcgihelper.*;
import java.util.Properties;
public final class Test {
    private Test() {}
    public static void main(String[] args_) throws java.io.IOException {
        ServerSocket inputSocket = new ServerSocket(50002);
        while(true) {
            Socket aSocket = inputSocket.accept();
            FCGIRequest request = FCGIRequest.reciveRequest(aSocket);
            Properties parameters = request.getParameters();
            PrintStream output = new PrintStream(request.getOutputStream());
            output.println("Content-type: text/plain \n");
            for(java.util.Map.Entry thisProperty : parameters.entrySet()) {
                output.println("\"" + thisProperty.getKey() + "\"	:	\"" + thisProperty.getValue() + "\"" );
            }
            request.close();
        }
    }
}
