35<h3>Summary</h3>
36
37    <p>This module <em>requires</em> the service of <code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_proxy.html">mod_proxy</a></code>. It provides support for the
38    <a href="http://python.ca/scgi/protocol.txt">SCGI protocol, version
39    1</a>.</p>
40
41    <p>Thus, in order to get the ability of handling the SCGI protocol,
42    <code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_proxy.html">mod_proxy</a></code> and <code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_proxy_scgi.html">mod_proxy_scgi</a></code> have to
43    be present in the server.</p>
44
45    <div class="warning"><h3>Warning</h3>
46      <p>Do not enable proxying until you have <a href="mod_proxy.html#access">secured your server</a>. Open proxy
47      servers are dangerous both to your network and to the Internet at
48      large.</p>

98    <p>The <code class="directive">ProxySCGIInternalRedirect</code> enables the backend
99    to internally redirect the gateway to a different URL. This feature
100    origins in <code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_cgi.html">mod_cgi</a></code>, which internally redirects the
101    response, if the response status is <code>OK</code> (<code>200</code>) and
102    the response contains a <code>Location</code> header and its value starts
103    with a slash (<code>/</code>). This value is interpreted as a new local
104    URL the apache internally redirects to.</p>
105
106    <p><code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_proxy_scgi.html">mod_proxy_scgi</a></code> does the same as

126    <p>The <code class="directive">ProxySCGISendfile</code> directive enables the
127    SCGI backend to let files serve directly by the gateway. This is useful
128    performance purposes -- the httpd can use <code>sendfile</code> or other
129    optimizations, which are not possible if the file comes over the backend
130    socket.</p>
131    <p>The <code class="directive">ProxySCGISendfile</code> argument determines the
132    gateway behaviour:</p>
133    <dl>
134    <dt><code>Off</code></dt>
135    <dd>No special handling takes place.</dd>
136
137    <dt><code>On</code></dt>
138    <dd>The gateway looks for a backend response header called
139    <code>X-Sendfile</code> and interprets the value as filename to serve. The
140    header is removed from the final response headers. This is equivalent to
141    <code>ProxySCGISendfile X-Sendfile</code>.</dd>
142
143    <dt>anything else</dt>
144    <dd>Similar to <code>On</code>, but instead of the hardcoded header name
145    the argument is applied as header name.</dd>
146    </dl>
