Hello

In my project, we are using the mod_fcgid to handle certain http requests by our own language engine. This used to work perfectly till we upgraded from mod_fcgid 2.3.5 to mod_fcgid 2.3.6. Since then, our fcgid process is not started anymore if the ScriptAlias directive in httpd.conf contains a space. Instead, I see the following in the error log of apache:

326 [Fri Jan 06 11:30:01 2012] [notice] Apache/2.2.21 (Unix) mod_fcgid/2.3.6 configured -- resuming normal operations
327 [Fri Jan 06 11:30:03 2012] [warn] [client 77.58.246.206] (104)Connection reset by peer: mod_fcgid: error reading data from FastCGI server
328 [Fri Jan 06 11:30:03 2012] [error] [client 77.58.246.206] Premature end of script headers: somename.fcgi

It's only the space in ScriptAlias that causes the trouble. Nothing else. And after we downgraded back to mod_fcgid 2.3.5, it works like a charm.

Best
David

Forgot to write that I tested it on Ubuntu 10.04 and on Ubuntu 11.10.

This is also broken on Windows. See bug#52795

Platform agnostic per comment #2

This was the same underlying bug as 51194 - see that ticket for a patch.
