Then use an exact location: 

location = /site/get {
  include fastcgi_params; 
  # Where's the fastcgi_pass directive?    
  fastcgi_pass unix:/path/to/socket.sock;  
  fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME  $fastcgi_script_filename;
}

I suggest you either use the echo module by agentzh or enable the
error log with the debug flag to see what's going on.
