Good afternoon. I'm trying to get a way to obtain the fastcgi_param
definitons from NGINX inside my app. Neither some of the most basic
parameters are passed, such as ARequest.URI or ARequest.URL. I've
already tried to get it in Application.EnvironmentVariable but with no
success.

My configurations are like suggested by NGINX documentation for PHP
FasctCGI or FPM.

Does someone have been succeeded on this?

PS.: Use other web framework is a possibility, however I'd like to
stay with FPWeb if possible.

I get the request parameters without problems. True I use
BrookFreePascal.

P.S. I used fast-cgi mode, but then switched to the embedded web
server mode, which works on a certain port, and then is proxied by
NGINX to standard. ِAlso You can tune up SSL for HTTPS. The
convenience is also that you can configure nginx to take full care of
static files

According to your experience, is there some great performance loos
while proxying NGINX through FCGI or through Embedded Server in FPWeb?
And with BrookFreePascal?

Also, could you send some very basic example of handling requests with
brook FCGI? I found some on github but for cgi instead.

thanks for answer

You just create the app using the wizard. In Uses, a broker for
FastCGI operation is added. Otherwise, all work in Brook is similar,
whether it's CGI/Fast CGI or even on a web server. To work with
request parameters, you can use the HttpRequest object property of the
TBrookAction class

What an unfortunate name - I had ignored it completely previously
because it sounded like it was a fork of Free Pascal. I notice it is
referred to elsewhere as "Brook for Free Pascal" or "Brook Framework",
better but still not obvious from the name what it is/does. Such a
shame because it looks really useful.

Meant BrookForFreepascal. The first development branch of
brookframework up to and including version 4.0, which only works for
FreePascal. The new brookframework, which was given this name,
supports both Delphi and FreePascal, but I like it less and has
dependencies on the libsagui micro http server. The remaining branch
changed its name to brook4freepascal so

Thanx! I'll consider to use it in my app.
