FastCGI for Delphi
This is an implementation of FastCGI for Delphi, written in Pascal. It implements the parts of the protocol that are necessary to build a simple web application using Delphi.
This means that you can write web applications in Pascal that serve dynamic content.

Basic usage
The most common usage scenario is to use this library together with a web server nginx. The web server will serve static content and forward HTTP requests for dynamic content to your application.
Have a look at the NGINX.FCGIApplication.TFCGIApplication class for usage examples and more information.
This code example shows how to create a FastCGI application and receive requests:
// TFCGIApplication Object, will accept FastCGI requests
var
app: TFCGIApplication;
// Handle requests by responding with a 'Hello World' message
procedure TWebModule.FCGIRequestReceived(const sender: TObject;
const Request: TFCGIRequest; Response: TFCGIResponse);
var
Content: string;
item: TPair<string, TBytes>;
begin
Content := 'Hello World!<br/>这是中文内容<br/>';
for item in Request.Parameters do
begin
Content := Content + ' ' + item.Key + '=' + TEncoding.UTF8.GetString
(item.Value) + '<br/>';
end;
Response.Content := Content;
end;
// Create a new FCGIApplication
app := TFCGIApplication.Create;
app.OnRequestReceived := WebModule.FCGIRequestReceived;
// Start listening on port 19000
app.Run(19000);
Web server configuration
For nginx, use fastcgi_pass
to pass requests to your FastCGI application:
location / {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:19000; # Pass all requests to port 19000 via FastCGI.
include fastcgi_params; # (Optional): Set several FastCGI parameters like the remote IP and other metadata.
}
