Version 1.2 alpha 2 of the scgi package is now available from: http://www.mems-exchange.org/software/scgi/ The Apache 2 version of mod_scgi has been largely rewritten. The alpha 1 version was buggy (e.g. it was using some Apache 2 APIs incorrectly). While I have much more confidence in this version, it has still not received a lot of testing so I advise caution. Also fixed in this version is a serious bug in the ns_reads() function. It used to read too much data if the entire contents of the netstring were not returned by the first read(). It's a little surprising that no one else noticed this bug (or at least they didn't report it). It seems to show up more often when using the Linux 2.2 kernel. Neil
