Shouldn't assert declarations be seen in documentation?

I do not want to change the topic of first post though, how 
exactly are you storing and passing http message to CGI, and 
getting response from it? Are they travelling on pipes?

Because pipes are managed by kernel, I try to avoid them as much 
as possible. Only small messages use pipes, and the rest are on 
shared memory. I didn't read the FastCGI's details before, though 
as far as I know, CGI writes its response by using stdin.
