<h1>External Apps</h1><section class="ls-spacer-small-bottom">LiteSpeed web server can forward requests to external applications to process and generate dynamic content.


Since 2.0, LiteSpeed Web Server has supported seven types of external applications: CGI, FastCGI, web server, servlet
engine, LiteSpeed SAPI application, load balancer, and piped logger.

<ul>
  <li>
    CGI stands for Common Gateway Interface. The current standard is CGI/1.1. CGI applications run in standalone
    processes. A CGI process is started for each request and will exit after finishing the request.
  </li>
  <li>
    FastCGI is a fast, open, and secure web server interface that solves the performance problems inherent in CGI without
    introducing the overhead and complexity of proprietary APIs (Application Programming Interfaces).  For more information,
    please visit <a href="https://fastcgi-archives.github.io/">https://fastcgi-archives.github.io/</a>.


    On LiteSpeed Web Server, FastCGI applications can take two roles: generating dynamic responses (a responder role) or
    authorizing requests (an authorizer role). LiteSpeed Web Server further defines two types of FastCGI applications: local
    FastCGI and remote FastCGI. Local FastCGI applications are started automatically by the web server on demand.
    Remote FastCGI applications are not started by the web server. (They can run on a remote machine or on the same
    machine.)
  </li>
  <li>
    A web server is a server application that supports HTTP 1.0/1.1 protocols. LiteSpeed web server can serve as a
    transparent reverse proxy to accelerate and protect web servers and application servers. When communicating with
    backend web servers, LiteSpeed will always try to utilize persistent connections in order to achieve the highest
    performance.
  </li>
  <li>
    A servlet engine is an application, like Apache Tomcat and Jetty, that implements Java servlets and Java Server Pages.
    LiteSpeed can communicate with servlet engines through AJPv1.3 (Apache JServ Protocol version 1.3). Servlet engine
    cannot be started by the web server and can be setup to run on a remote machine.
  </li>
  <li>
    A LiteSpeed SAPI (LiteSpeed Server Application Programming Interface) application is an application that communicates
    with LiteSpeed Web Server through LSAPI, a fast, scalable server interface specifically designed for LiteSpeed Web
    Server to achieve maximum efficiency.


    LSAPI's mechanism of action are similar to FastCGI, but LSAPI applications can be up to 30% faster than comparable
    FastCGI applications. LSAPI is highly recommended over FastCGI for supported applications. (LSAPI currently supports
    applications written in PHP, Ruby, and Python.)


    For more information about LSAPI, please visit
    <a href="https://www.litespeedtech.com/open-source/litespeed-sapi">
      https://www.litespeedtech.com/open-source/litespeed-sapi
    </a>.
  </li>
  <li>
    A load balancer is a virtual external application, which assigns requests to backend worker applications based on
    workload. Worker applications can be CGI, FastCGI, web server, servlet engine, or LSAPI applications. Different types of
    applications can be mixed together under one load balancer. Load balancers and piped loggers cannot be used as
    worker applications.
  </li>
  <li>
    A piped logger is an application that can process access logs in real-time, writing an access log into database or
    performing real-time statistics calculations, for example.
  </li>
</ul>


Unlike CGI applications, FastCGI applications, LSAPI applications, and servlet engine do not exit after processing a
request. The application process will stay/persist and serve as many requests as it can. The socket connection can be
reused for multiple requests as well.


External applications can be set up in the {PAGE=ExtApp_Help} section. External applications cannot, however, function
on their own. Additional settings must be configured so that the web server knows which requests to send to which
application. There are two ways to to configure this in LiteSpeed Web Server:


<ol>
  <li> Set the external application as a handler for a specific context.</li>
  <li> Set the external application as a handler of a script language via file suffix binding.</li>
</ol>


FastCGI applications, LSAPI applications, web servers, servlet engines, and load balancers have to be defined in the
{PAGE=ExtApp_Help} section before you can configure them to handle a context or script suffix. It is not necessary to
define CGI applications in the {PAGE=ExtApp_Help} section.


External applications can be configured at the server level or at the virtual host level. When configured at the server level, the
application can be used by all virtual hosts. When configured at the virtual host level, it can only be used by that virtual host.</section>

LSAPI supports PHP, Ruby, and Python. Perl can be used with FastCGI. (PHP, Ruby, and Python can also be set up to run using FastCGI, but they run faster using LSAPI.) Java uses servlet engines.</p> </article> </div>
