node-fastcgi-client

A FastCGI client implementation in Node.js, mainly designed for cummunication with PHP.

Development Status

Not actively developing, and I have been away from PHP projects since 2018.

However, there are still some issues and pull requests from many developers, so I decide not to archive this repo.

Also, I believe it is a small and stable protocol, and it can still work for many years.

API

npm install fastcgi-client. Use require('fastcgi-client') to get a fastcgiConnector.

var client = fastcgiConnector(options) Create a FastCGI client. Available options:

• host The server name or IP, default to '127.0.0.1'.
• port The server port, default to 9000.
• sockFile Connect to php-fpm with sock file instead of 127.0.0.1:9000. If you set this option, host and port will be ignored
• skipCheckServer Skip checking and getting options from the server.
• maxConns The default value of maximum concurrent connections to the server.
• maxReqs The default value of maximum concurrent requests to the server.
• mpxsConns The default value of using concurrency over connections or not.
• Event ready Client is ready for accepting request.
• Event error An error occurred and returned as 1st argument of event handler.

client.request(params, cb) Create a new request. params Should be FastCGI params (key-value pairs). An error object would be passed to cb as 1st argument on failed (request not sent at all), otherwise a request argument is passed as 2nd argument.

The request object:

• request.abort() Send an abort request. The request is not ended after the server responds.
• request.stdin The writable stdin stream.
• request.stdout The readable stdout stream.
• request.stderr The readable stderr stream.
• request.getExitStatus() Return exit code, or an error if not normally ended. It would be ready before the end events of stdout and stderr streams.

test

You should have PHP-CGI installed and PHP5 FPM service running in 127.0.0.1:9000.

Then use npm test to test. Use npm run coverage to see the test coverage.
