But, you are correct that happstack does not currently have support
for running CGI executables. I imagine that you could write a CGI
handler (with out modifying the core code) in a few hours (maybe
less). Mostly just a matter of turning the values in the Request type
into a environment variables, and calling the executable?
And writing a HTTP server is "mostly" a matter of parsing the request
headers and constructing some response headers. However, this turns out
to be significantly less easy to do properly than you'd first imagine. ;-)
That said, I am not sure why you want CGI.
Because my hired web server runs Apache?
Sure, if I'm only doing stuff on the local machine, I can use any kind
of server/application linkage I like, because I can use any server I
want. But if I ever decide to actually put this stuff on the web, for
real, it'll have to be plain CGI. (Or maybe FastCGI is supported, I'm
not actually sure...) That being the case, I might as well develop it as
CGI to start with.
