## Development: Open issues

This section of the documentation comprehends a variety of topics. It is mainly intended as a repository of notes, tips, issues and documentation concerning parts of Cherokee that are currently under development -or are full developed- but are not yet included for mainstream usage.

As these features get properly integrated into the Cherokee infrastructure, the notes regarding the subject should be moved to their specific section of the documentation.

For now, this document maintains a list of currently open issues. It mostly is useful to list things of the Cherokee Project that are known to be half-baked, and as such are only of interest for developers.

### FastCGI Handler

There are two handlers currently implementing the FastCGI protocol: "fcgi" and "fastcgi".

The "fastcgi" module also implements the FastCGI protocol. It is a more complete implementation than "fcgi" although it is also more complex. Actually, fcgi became the standard choice because the PHP interpreter is kind of buggy when it has to demultiplex multiple requests from the same socket. As such, it is the only one supported by Cherokee-Admin.

The "fastcgi" handler will eventually become the default option because it is faster and more standard-compliant. However, at the moment "fcgi" is a better option.
