Unfortunately, the fastCGI plugin for IIS isn't open source and is no
longer supported or available:

The Webkit adapter protocol is roughly the same as fastCGI, but
mod_webkit does some other nice stuff with retries and the
configuration directives. I also suspect it's slightly faster.
There's no good reason to bother making WebKit support it, unless we
support running existing non-webkit fastCGI programs through WebKit.
This would be possible using the MultiPortServer class. Even then
it's probably easier to just emulate a fastCGI request.
