I found one that worked for me when php-fcgi failed. Offering a solution to someone that results in the same failure doesn't seem to be a solution to me.

Not desperation. I think it's more "responding to outlandish claims"

Perhaps you need someone else to help you set it up as you seem to be
having some issues getting a reliable solution going using FCGI. None
of us seem to have issues.

Or, WordPress just needs a patch to change the behavior, if that is
truly the case. WP should not be sniffing the SAPI to determine
behavior, that's weird, but WP already does a bunch of weird things.

People use WP Supercache with nginx all the time. Perhaps it's issuing
the wrong redirect header, but it at least works. I don't remember
what the OP was asking in the beginning but if it doesn't work then
there is something else going on. If the issue was the wrong type of
redirect being issued, that's not something that can be fixed by nginx
- that's a WP issue. Switching webservers because of that seems a bit
overkill; I would submit a bug with WP for it, it is small and I would
think it should be able to get in the next release.
