Yes, all you need is an appleevent handler that checks for web event
and replies to it by sending html page. My old starter.cgi is still
online for those who wants to get rolling faster.
This solution is particularly easy to implement for people with no
unix background, which is required at least to some degree to handle
an Apache setup. I am also running Apache/PHP/MySQL service and it is
surely more work to maintain.

Robert,
thanks for pointing me to this thread. I was so lazy a programmer in
the MacOS 8.x days that I never understood how CGIs and HTTP and
AppleEvents worked. I came to figure those things later in MacOS 9.x
and then MacOS X (lucky me I came from linux so unix was something I
was familiar). I remember seeing about ACGI but I could not understand
the thing. Now I just downloaded MacHTTP and read the manual, it's so
clear and I find the design so simple and yet very macintosh-esque.
Could you send your starter.cgi for me to look? I am planning in
stealing some ideas for the next installment of RevHTTPd.
As of now, RevHTTPd is source compatible with libCGI meaning that cgis
coded for libCGI will work out of the box in RevHTTPd, would be usefull
to expand RevHTTPd so that it could launch ACGI and/or receive ACGI
calls from MacHTTP and WebStar? Do people need this?
cheers
Andre
