Apache & fastcgi-mono-server, for the most part

When trying to figure out why all my requests were turning into “200 OK” from the Lighttpd and Cherokee, I discovered I’ve been sending them incorrectly, as HTTP style lines rather than CGI header style lines. Oops. With this change implemented, mod_fcgid is no longer failing on me and I’ve got what is the start of a configuration for Apache. PLEASE NOTE THIS IS NOT THE FINAL OR RECOMMENDED CONFIGURATION, but it is worth checking out.

There are two important shortcomings:

1. Just wrapping extensions is not a recommended way of working with ASP.NET, as it lacks certain security and management features. It is better to just send the whole directory to the Mono server. (More on this, Friday.) As far as I understand it, this will require a change in mod_fcgid.
2. WebResource.axd shows up as a 404 error rather than the expected resource, this can be overcome hackishly by creating an empty WebResource.axd where the other one is expected. Does anyone who knows Apache know how to overcome this?
