Description

This package supports CGI programs running as normal users (not the webserver's), and potentially running persistently. It's a bit experimental.

There are three parts:

The first part is a CGI program which simply connects to a UNIX-domain stream socket, sends the CGI input data through it and awaits a response.
A C/C++ library allows a user program to set up such a socket, run persistently, and receive and respond to the data for each CGI interaction distinctly and concurrently. This program can run with an identity and permisions independent of the web server.
A second program is supplied which uses the library to run ordinary CGI programs.

Note that the Apache HTTP server has a mod_cgid module which might provide this functionality, but it needs investigating.
