Dossy and Rob and Bas - Thanks much for your help. Your guidance and suggestions and hints enabled me the find much of the information I need. I've got most of my project working. You may be curious about what I'm working on. I use Quixote, which is a Web application framework that is implemented in Python and supports development of Web applications in Python. One way of invoking Quixote applications is through a SCGI interface. Currently this means that Apache and an Apache module (mod_scgi) forwards requests to an SCGI server listening on a specific port. So, I'm writing an AOLserver loadable module that forwards requests to the SCGI server (which in turn invokes Quixote). It's working, mostly, but I still have a way to go, mostly to provide the information and variables that I was asking about. And, thanks to you, I've been able to find quite a bit of that information and pass it along to the SCGI server. I think this accomplishes something similar to what is done by PyWX (http://pywx.idyll.org/) with a Quixote handler, but does it in a different way. I suppose, when I get around to writing some documentation, I'd better try to compare these two approaches. If you are interested in Quixote and SCGI, you can learn about them here: Quixote: http://www.mems-exchange.org/software/quixote/ SCGI: http://www.mems-exchange.org/software/scgi/ Thanks again for you help. I'll make it available when and if I get it working decently.
