Re: More CGI Stuff

[Yennie]

You can easily use a long-running Metacard stack in the background- just launch it normally and communicate from your CGI using sockets (or any other IAC).

Problem is- you can only handle one connection at a time with the long-running stack.
That is why I've been investigating using multiple processes with the Darwin engine.

Not sure on this one - seem to remember some comments on the list b4 -
but not tries it yet... something to do with having MC already running
in background on the server (ie not started by a cgi)?

Is it then possible for the CGI to start using / send messages to the MC
stacks already up and running? This has to be possible via some type of
IAC but is the process started via the same as the mc engine running in
the background...
