Apache doesn't send the name/value pairs on the comment line, but either
through the environment variable QUERY_STRING (for a GET method) or as stdin
(for the POST method). Either way, you'll need to parse the input
(QUERY_STRING or stdin) to break the name/value pairs apart.

and an older version *was* successfully ported to Windows, but
that was about seven years ago ... )
