You are supposed to talk the FCGI (binary) protocol on port 1200.
Trying to access it with a browser (HTTP protocol) will do nothing
interesting.  You have to configure your web server so it contact
localhost:1200 when you request the URL you want.  According to
http://www.fastcgi.com/mod_fastcgi/docs/mod_fastcgi.html it should be
someting like

  FastCgiExternalServer path/to/url -host localhost:1200

Hope it helps,
