== 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 ==

Offical support for the PHP ISAPI module has been dropped from PHP 5.3. We are planning to move to PHP 5.3 and so we need to stop using the unsupported PHP ISAPI module. This comes at a good time because Microsoft is now offically supporting FastCGI.

== Proposed Solution ==

Upgrade to use PHP FastCGI. Upgrade existing mapagent to support FastCGI for both IIS and Apache if needed.

== Implications ==

The unsupported PHP ISAPI module for IIS will be dropped.
 
== Test Plan ==

!Build/Run on !Windows/Linux.

== !Funding/Resources ==

Supplied by Autodesk.
