Documentation

Handler: uWSGI

The uwsgi handler allows Cherokee to communicate with the uWSGI server. The configuration parameters are exactly the same from the FastCGI, so check that section of the documentation if you want to set up this handler.

uWSGI is feature rich and developer friendly. The (uWSGI) protocol is derived from SCGI.
