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:

Thanks again for you help.  I'll make it available when and if I
get it working decently.

Dave
