+<h3>Summary</h3>
+
+ <p>This module <em>requires</em> the service of <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy.html">mod_proxy</a></code>. It provides support for the
+ <a href="http://python.ca/scgi/protocol.txt">SCGI protocol, version
+ 1</a>.</p>
+
+ <p>Thus, in order to get the ability of handling the SCGI protocol,
+ <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy.html">mod_proxy</a></code> and <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy_scgi.html">mod_proxy_scgi</a></code> have to
+ be present in the server.</p>
+
+ <div class="warning"><h3>Warning</h3>
+ <p>Do not enable proxying until you have <a href="mod_proxy.html#access">secured your server</a>. Open proxy
+ servers are dangerous both to your network and to the Internet at
+ large.</p>

+ <p>Remember, in order to make the following examples work, you have to

+ <div class="example"><h3>Simple gateway</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">ProxyPass "/scgi-bin/" "scgi://localhost:4000/"</pre>
+</div>
+
+ <p>The balanced gateway needs <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy_balancer.html">mod_proxy_balancer</a></code> and
+ at least one load balancer algorithm module, such as
+ <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_lbmethod_byrequests.html">mod_lbmethod_byrequests</a></code>, in addition to the proxy
+ modules listed above. <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_lbmethod_byrequests.html">mod_lbmethod_byrequests</a></code> is the

+<h2><a name="env" id="env">Environment Variables</a></h2>
+ <p>In addition to the configuration directives that control the
+ behaviour of <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy.html">mod_proxy</a></code>, an <dfn>environment
+ variable</dfn> may also control the SCGI protocol
+ provider:</p>
+ <dl>
+ <dt>proxy-scgi-pathinfo</dt>
+ <dd>By default <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy_scgi.html">mod_proxy_scgi</a></code> will neither create

+ the backend SCGI server to correctly determine <var>SCRIPT_NAME</var>
+ and <var>Script-URI</var> and be compliant with RFC 3875 section 3.3.
+ If instead you need <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy_scgi.html">mod_proxy_scgi</a></code> to generate
+ a "best guess" for <var>PATH_INFO</var>, set this env-var. The
+ variable must be set before <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_env.html#setenv">SetEnv</a></code>
+ is effective. <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_setenvif.html#setenvif">SetEnvIf</a></code> can be

+ <p>The <code class="directive">ProxySCGIInternalRedirect</code> enables the backend
+ to internally redirect the gateway to a different URL. This feature
+ originates in <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_cgi.html">mod_cgi</a></code>, which internally redirects the
+ response if the response status is <code>OK</code> (<code>200</code>) and
+ the response contains a <code>Location</code> (or configured alternate
+ header) and its value starts with a slash (<code>/</code>). This value is
+ interpreted as a new local URL that Apache httpd internally redirects to.</p>
+
+ <p><code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy_scgi.html">mod_proxy_scgi</a></code> does the same as
+ <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_cgi.html">mod_cgi</a></code> in this regard, except that you can turn off the

+
+ <div class="example"><h3>Example</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config"> ProxySCGIInternalRedirect Off
+
+# Django and some other frameworks will fully qualify "local URLs"
+# set by the application, so an alternate header must be used.

+ <p>The <code class="directive">ProxySCGISendfile</code> directive enables the
+ SCGI backend to let files be served directly by the gateway. This is useful
+ for performance purposes — httpd can use <code>sendfile</code> or other
+ optimizations, which are not possible if the file comes over the backend
+ socket. Additionally, the file contents are not transmitted twice.</p>
+ <p>The <code class="directive">ProxySCGISendfile</code> argument determines the
+ gateway behaviour:</p>
+ <dl>
+ <dt><code>Off</code></dt>
+ <dd>No special handling takes place.</dd>
+
+ <dt><code>On</code></dt>
+ <dd>The gateway looks for a backend response header called
+ <code>X-Sendfile</code> and interprets the value as the filename to serve.
+ The header is removed from the final response headers. This is equivalent to
+ <code>ProxySCGISendfile X-Sendfile</code>.</dd>
+
+ <dt>anything else</dt>
+ <dd>Similar to <code>On</code>, but instead of the hardcoded header name
+ <code>X-Sendfile</code>, the argument is used as the header name.</dd>
+ </dl>
+
+ <div class="example"><h3>Example</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config"># Use the default header (X-Sendfile)
