Apache HTTP Server Version 2.4

| Description: | SCGI gateway module for mod_proxy | 
|---|---|
| Status: | Extension | 
| Module Identifier: | proxy_scgi_module | 
| Source File: | mod_proxy_scgi.c | 
| Compatibility: | Available in version 2.2.14 and later | 
This module requires the service of mod_proxy. It provides support for the
    SCGI protocol, version
    1.
Thus, in order to get the ability of handling the SCGI protocol,
    mod_proxy and mod_proxy_scgi have to
    be present in the server.
Do not enable proxying until you have secured your server. Open proxy servers are dangerous both to your network and to the Internet at large.
Remember, in order to make the following examples work, you have to
    enable mod_proxy and mod_proxy_scgi.
ProxyPass /scgi-bin/ scgi://localhost:4000/
The balanced gateway needs mod_proxy_balancer and
    at least one load balancer algorithm module, such as
    mod_lbmethod_byrequests, in addition to the proxy
    modules listed above.  mod_lbmethod_byrequests is the
    default, and will be used for this example configuration.
ProxyPass "/scgi-bin/" "balancer://somecluster/"
<Proxy "balancer://somecluster">
    BalancerMember "scgi://localhost:4000"
    BalancerMember "scgi://localhost:4001"
</Proxy>
In addition to the configuration directives that control the
    behaviour of mod_proxy, an environment
    variable may also control the SCGI protocol
    provider:
mod_proxy_scgi will neither create
        nor export the PATH_INFO environment variable. This allows
        the backend SCGI server to correctly determine SCRIPT_NAME
        and Script-URI and be compliant with RFC 3875 section 3.3.
        If instead you need mod_proxy_scgi to generate
        a "best guess" for PATH_INFO, set this env-var.  The
        variable must be set before SetEnv
        is effective.  SetEnvIf can be
        used instead: SetEnvIf Request_URI . proxy-scgi-pathinfo
        | Description: | Enable or disable internal redirect responses from the backend | 
|---|---|
| Syntax: | ProxySCGIInternalRedirect On|Off|Headername | 
| Default: | ProxySCGIInternalRedirect On | 
| Context: | server config, virtual host, directory | 
| Status: | Extension | 
| Module: | mod_proxy_scgi | 
| Compatibility: | The Headername feature is available in version 2.4.13 and later | 
The ProxySCGIInternalRedirect enables the backend
    to internally redirect the gateway to a different URL. This feature
    originates in mod_cgi, which internally redirects the
    response if the response status is OK (200) and
    the response contains a Location (or configured alternate
    header) and its value starts with a slash (/). This value is 
    interpreted as a new local URL that Apache httpd internally redirects to.
mod_proxy_scgi does the same as
    mod_cgi in this regard, except that you can turn off the
    feature or specify the use of a header other than Location.
    ProxySCGIInternalRedirect Off
# Django and some other frameworks will fully qualify "local URLs"
# set by the application, so an alternate header must be used.
<Location /django-app/>
    ProxySCGIInternalRedirect X-Location
</Location>
| Description: | Enable evaluation of X-Sendfile pseudo response header | 
|---|---|
| Syntax: | ProxySCGISendfile On|Off|Headername | 
| Default: | ProxySCGISendfile Off | 
| Context: | server config, virtual host, directory | 
| Status: | Extension | 
| Module: | mod_proxy_scgi | 
The ProxySCGISendfile directive enables the
    SCGI backend to let files be served directly by the gateway. This is useful
    for performance purposes — httpd can use sendfile or other
    optimizations, which are not possible if the file comes over the backend
    socket.  Additionally, the file contents are not transmitted twice.
The ProxySCGISendfile argument determines the
    gateway behaviour:
OffOnX-Sendfile and interprets the value as the filename to serve.
    The  header is removed from the final response headers. This is equivalent to
    ProxySCGISendfile X-Sendfile.On, but instead of the hardcoded header name
    X-Sendfile, the argument is used as the header name.# Use the default header (X-Sendfile)
ProxySCGISendfile On
    
# Use a different header
ProxySCGISendfile X-Send-Static
