<p>This directive allows the type of backend FastCGI application to be
specified. Some FastCGI servers, such as PHP-FPM, use historical quirks of
environment variables to identify the type of proxy server being used. Set

+this directive to "GENERIC" if your non PHP-FPM application has trouble
interpreting environment variables such as SCRIPT_FILENAME or PATH_TRANSLATED
as set by the server.</p>
PHP-FPM would strip the prefix then remember it was talking to Apache. In
2.4.21 through 2.4.25, this prefix was automatically stripped by the server,
breaking the ability of PHP-FPM to detect and interoperate with Apache in some
-scenarios.</p>
