Hi,  
I have started rails some week ago. I have deployed my application to  
production sever which is a shared host with FastCGI enabled. This  
application is actually Radiant CMS and working fine if I am using  
dispatch.cgi. But whenever I use dispatch.fcgi the browser takes a lot  
of time and finally it stoped with blank screen - no error. I have  
created a simple test application but the same problem is coming with  
it also.

Then I have run the dispatch.cgi and dispatch.fcgi on command line and  
following output is coming.

[~]# ruby radiant-0.6.1/public/dispatch.cgi  
Status: 400 Bad Request

[~]# ruby radiant-0.6.1/public/dispatch.fcgi  
[~]#

So it seems that dispatch.cgi is returning some output but  
dispatch.fcgi does not given anything not even a error.

I have searched over google but could not find help.  
Kindly help me for sorting this out.
