CL-FastCGI

Introduction

CL-FastCGI is a generic version of SB-FastCGI, targeting to run on mostly Common Lisp implementation.

CL-FastCGI’s API is exactly the same as SB-FastCGI’s.

Differences between SB-FastCGI and CL-FastCGI.

SB-FastCGI

• Supports SBCL only.
• No third-party packages dependences.
• Supports unix-domain-socket/inet-socket/stdin
• Multithreaded fastcgi server.

CL-FastCGI

• Targeting to running on all Common Lisp implementation. And now supports:
  • SBCL
  • CMUCL
  • CLISP
  • Clozure CL
  • LispWorks
  • ECL
• Depends on cffi and usocket
• Unix-domain-socket is unsupported.
• Multithreaded fastcgi server is unsupported(You can run it in multi-processes mode).

Which to Use?

If you use SBCL, I recommend you select SB-FastCGI, and package SB-FastCGI has a nickname cl-fastcgi, so you can change SB-FastCGI to cl-fastcgi or change back easily, without code modifications.
