AuraGem Ask > Gemini: Re anyone using SCGI (vs CGI) on their capsule? how do you like it?

Back to the Question

Yes, much of the stuff on gemini://gemini.thegonz.net uses SCGI. There were a few reasons for that. One is that molly-brown kills CGI scripts after 10 seconds, which is reasonable but means they can't be used for streaming. Another is to be able to run as a separate user. Another is to store state within a process between requests. I have some C code to wrap a CGI-script to run as SCGI, gemscgi_wrap.c in gemrepl. I could polish that up and release it if anyone's interested.
