Done! =)

Tested with FCL and Synapse (demo in attached or in Dropbox:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/rei2fj5papyqium/SCGI_GET.zip?dl=0). My demo is
just a "hello world", showing how to do a GET in a SCGI application. I'm
using only sockets, but it can be easily implemented with HTTPDefs.pas
pre-implementation, to make something like custscgi.pas.

Below you can see how to test my small app in seven steps, on Windows 7 and
using nginx as HTTP server. It is very easy to do, please see:

1. download the nginx server http://nginx.org/en/download.html (I'm using
the nginx-1.7.9);
2. unpack nginx-1.7.9.zip, and in nginx-1.7.9 folder, open
the nginx-1.7.9\conf\nginx.conf file;
3. in nginx.conf file, add the following content (see my nginx.conf here:
http://pastebin.com/7xB6nmJz, line 79):
        location /test {
            include   scgi_params;
            scgi_pass localhost:8080;
        }
4. open the CMD, go into the nginx-1.7.9 folder using CD, and execute
nginx.exe;
5. compile and run the SCGI_GET\FCL\project1.lpr project;
6. open the http://localhost/test URL in you browser;
7. enjoy! =)

Please tell me if those steps also worked for you.

You can test it in Apache too (Windows or Linux), I tested it using the
steps that I told before and it worked like a charm too.

Now I need to test the SCGI performance comparing it with FastCGI (+- 6.000
request / sec) and Apache module (+- 14.000 requests / sec).

I'm very impressed with the ease in debugging a SCGI application.

The strange thing of scgi is that the spec is so vague, I am surprised

Me too. But you can use the same CGI spec to get env. variables,
query_string etc. SCGI is very easy to be implemented like CGI. I've tested
this draft to get all fields of a HTML form with POST:
https://gist.github.com/ArtemGr/38425. I can adapt it to Pascal too.
