I finally found some time (and inspiration) to do something in direction of implementing FastCGI the way I see it. Initially, I was going to implement FastCGI-functions in php-extension, but that would require more time than I currently have, so I started with a simplier task: I implemented SCGI protocol (which is way simplier than FastCGI) in pure php-code (which is easier, again, and let's me change API faster, during development).

The result is this project (hosted on the Google Code site) that allows you to use it with any SCGI-enabled server (apache and lighttpd. He includes a source code example to clarify its use.

Although downloads have been on the Google Code site for a bit, I recently put up a new build of Inspekt. This could probably be described as a late alpha release, with most proposed features implemented.

Also included in this new edition are full API documentation for the application, some documentation on its basic usage and, of course, the source of this latest release.
