options

Optional. A Numeric Variable or decimal number that specifies a bit mask value that controls the behaviors of this method.

Flags Affected: OVER, ZERO

Note the following:

1. The ZERO flag is set if the {return} value is zero.

2. The {return} value indicates whether the method passes or fails as follows:

 

Value	Description
0	A FastCGI session has been initiated.
1	The PWS Server has requested the program to SHUTDOWN.
2	No FastCGI session was requested before the timeout period.
3	A previous FastCGI session is still in progress.
4	FastCGI mode is not active.
5	An operational error has occurred during FastCGI mode.

 

3. The OVER flag is set if the {return} variable is too small to receive the numeric result.

4. Once a FastCGI session is active, the HttpStdinSize and HttpSdtinData can obtain STDIN data.

5. The HttpResponse method completes a FastCGI session.

6. This method is not available under Windows CE or the PL/B WebServer.
