Where can I find good tutorials on writing fastcgi applications with  
nginx  
and c ? ( Googling didn’t help much. )

How do I handle HTTP requests received by the nginx server with c code ?

Please point out some resources towards learning the same .

Thanks

Hi,

The Specs helped my writing a client, so it should help writing a server  
as  
well. Maybe there’s also a ready-to-use library out there.

Worth to mention, that this is independent from nginx. Theoretically you  
just need to listen on a socket, parse the request regarding the specs,  
_do  
something_ and return the response again regarding the specs.

See [http://www.fastcgi.com/devkit/doc/fcgi-spec.html](http://www.fastcgi.com/devkit/doc/fcgi-spec.html)
