You'd be better writing a parser and applet wrapper for either Apache

designed to be implementation-independent.
I wanted to put all of the hard stuff on the Apache side, in C, so
there'd be no need for complex request-handling code on the Scheme
side. FastCGI is uses a packet-based protocol that's non-trivial to
implement. A design goal is to enable people who want to write a
Scheme-based web application to download the module, read the sample
code, and get their program responding to requests within an hour.
Notwithstanding my objections to FastCGI, I'm in favor of a Scheme
implementation of the app server side of AJP/JK. As the page at the URL
describes, it's simply a wire optimized HTTP. But getting such an
implementation to work on a random Scheme would be a hassle for users,
so it doesn't satisfy my up-and-running-in-an-hour goal.
