Hi, guys
A company need a "TCP/IP patch of mod_fcgid or alternative", and will pay
for it, anyone interested? I really like to take it but I don't have too much
time...
Anyone interested please reply to me and I will forward the email address of
them.
Our company is hosting a website with a lot of users. Each user needs login to
access our server. We have an in-house FCGI program responsible for
authenticate user's credentials. The FCGI program is called “Neti”;. Right now
Neti works fine with Zeus server, however we want to switch to Apache server.
Neti only listens on TCP/IP socket, it assumes both an authorizer role and a
responder role in the Fast CGI request. Here's the 3 candidate Apache modules
to interface Neti:
1. Mod_fastcgi: this module has NOT been updated since 2007. It will break
randomly, (not only with Neti, but with some other FCGIs), so we're not
planning to pursue it;
2. Mod_proxy_fcgi: this module supports TCP socket, it can connect to Neti, but
it doesn't support authorizer role. So in the first FCGI request, it forwards
the request to Neti as a responder instead of an authorizer, Neti cannot simply
let it through without properly authorizing it first, thus the request fails;
3. Mod_fcgid: this module supports authorizer role while doesn't support TCP
connection. We cannot confirm its authorizer role since it doesn't even connect
to Neti due to lack of TCP;
So our choice is between either adding authorizer role to mod_proxy_fcgi or
adding TCP/IP to mod_fcgid.
We’re really willing to pay to have this project done, I mean either adding
proxy to mod_fcgid or adding authorizer to mod_proxy_fcgi. Are you willing to
work on this with reward or do you know anyone else who’s interested in doing
so with pay, for example, author of mod_proxy_fcgi? (I cannot find his name)
