Hello, while playing with fastcgi stuff, i have updated my tool to explore the FreeBSD ports tree. It is now a fastcgi responder which can answer questions behind a web server such as apache or lighttpd. It can be found here: http://www.lpthe.jussieu.fr/~talon/show_index.fcgi The needed configuration for lighttpd is explained in the comments at the beginning, this is basically the same as for Django. So one needs to run the python script show_index.fcgi as root, it creates a socket in /tmp, daemonizes, and changes its ownership to www. It then communicates with the web server through this socket. To browse the ports tree, just point the browser at /showindex/ on the given server. A reasonable number of queries per second is achievable through this setup.
