Un-Roundfile STDERR

[dnorman]

Perhaps I'm being an idiot, but why does FCGI seem to hate STDERR?

This patch allows your to un-roundfile STDERR, because I can see no other way to easily debug code.

Thoughts?

Daniel,

Sorry it took so long to get back to you on this. Typically FCGI sends the STDERR back to the web-server and it ends up in the error-log. Are you not seeing this behavior? Or is this not working correctly? Basically, could you elaborate more on your use case?

yeah, for some reason though, STDERR didn't seem to come through into the web server's error log, thus the hack.
I was using lighttpd.

You need to actually put "fastcgi.debug = 1" into your lighttpd config to make it capture STDERR as expected. Perhaps that will solve your issue?

[dnorman]

aha, you're probably right about that one. None-the-less, it would be nice to have a flag to show STDERR on the console, as does the catalyst fastcgi script with the -e flag

[stevan]

Yeah I think we can integrate it, would you including some documentation on it? Perhaps even a test?
