  • Nginx

    An official read-only mirror of http://hg.nginx.org/nginx/ which is updated hourly. Pull requests on GitHub cannot be accepted and will be automatically closed. The proper way to submit changes to nginx is via the nginx development mailing list, see http://nginx.org/en/docs/contributing_changes.html

  • Apache’s mod_fastcgi’s last commit was 2 weeks ago:

    https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/trunk/

    It’s a fork of what you linked (and was more popular afaik back when fastcgi was state of the art, and apache was the undisputed champion of web servers).

    These days, nginx has more market share than apache, and its fastcgi module is one of the more recently updated ones in its source tree (5 months vs multiple years):

    https://github.com/nginx/nginx/tree/master/src/http/modules

    If I was going to build an embedded web server, I’d start with nostd rust, probably with though axum + tokio, since thats already memory safe-ish.

    If I needed fastcgi for some reason (dynamically loadable endpoints, or os-level isolation), there are at least four implementations of fastcgi for it. No idea if any are decent though.
