Question What does FastCGI Support in Hosting Settings do?

FastCGI Support checkbox is located under Web Scripting Settings - Web Scripting Settings
In fact, this checkbox is needed in order for .fcgi scripts to work through mod_fcgi
In fact, almost nobody uses this - the correct and actual way is to use appserver via proxy_fcgi/http
The selected dropdown php over fastcgi with FastCGI support off will work.
We are thinking about completely removing this checkbox.

Oh wow, I totally forgot .fcgi even existed. Yep, I think it should be removed. I think the last time I saw a .fcgi script was in 1998, lol.
