Overview

This RFC updates MapGuide to use FastCGI now that it is offically supported by Microsoft for IIS.

Link to Microsoft's site on FastCGI for IIS: ​http://www.iis.net/download/fastcgi

Motivation

For the last several releases we have been using un unsupported ISAPI module for IIS because Microsoft did not support FastCGI.

Proposed Solution

Upgrade existing mapagent to support FastCGI for both IIS and Apache.

Implications

The unsupported ISAPI module for IIS will be dropped. The Apache module will also be dropped with the move to FastCGI.

Test Plan

Build/Run on Windows/Linux.

Funding/Resources

Supplied by Autodesk.
