Rails - Feb 2005 - each_cgi in fastcgi

Am I using the right fastcgi lib?

It does''nt seem to be as fast as I''ve heard, and I notice that
rails uses fcgi.rb''s each_cgi() method.

On my version, that''s a pure ruby function (fcgi.so doesn''t
have
that method). Is this right, or should I be using a different
version?

fastcgi extension comes with native part and ruby part. When you
require ''fcgi'' you load fcgi.rb part which tries to load
fcgi.so
dynamic library. If it fails to do it, fcgi.rb emulates fcgi protocol
in pure ruby. each_cgi is a pure ruby method implemented in fcgi.rb.

If you see that fastcgi extension is not as fast as you expect, try to
load the native part explicitly like so: require ''fcgi.so''

Cheers,
Kent

Sorry, I might have explained this badly. What I''m asking is
''does
everyone else have a C-based each_cgi method, because I don''t seem to:

(from  /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/fcgi.rb: )

    550 # There is no C version of ''each_cgi''
    551 # Note: for ruby-1.6.8 at least, the constants CGI_PARAMS/CGI_COOKIES
    552 # are defined within module ''CGI'', even if you have
subclassed it
    553     
    554 class FCGI
    555   def self::each_cgi(*args)
    556     require ''cgi''
    557
