Fast FastCGI Stream wrapper for reading/writing FCGI records.

    // If the most significant bit is 1, then we add 2147483648 to the number.
    // This occurs because whenever we use bitwise operations, Javascript will treat the number as a 32bit SIGNED integer, which is bad as the MSB
    // (most significant bit) indicates sign (+/-) of number. So why do we add 2147483648 to the number manually if the MSB is set?
    // Simple, because 2147483648 == 10000000000000000000000000000000, which is the most significant bit :)
