Aw, that’s too bad. Sounds like it was a really fun project.
Thanks for the tips on CGI! Definitely going to look into it more. The server-side execution of CGI scripts definitely interests me more than the CGI scripts themselves, so I’ll probably just look for some existing (simple) CGI scripts and work on building the env vars and executing them.
Implementing a web server that can do CGI is actually probably easier than writing a CGI app. All you have to do for your server is set some environment variables and then spawn the executable.
