How does FastCGI work under the covers?

[kgk]

Hello Maxim,

Thank you so much for answering my previous questions!  Now I have a few
more:

1.  Will Nginx provide a FastCGI request only when it is 100% complete,
i.e., the browser has provided every necessary byte?

2.  Will Nginx always accept 100% of a FastCGI response and hold it inside
internal buffers (or on disk), and not wait for the client (= web browser)?

kgk
