Yes, this is exactly why I was wondering whether FastCGI had been implemented (though SCGI works for me as well) - so that I could write something on top of it, in much the same way I would using (for example) WSGI in Python. I also agree with you re: supporting all of the HTTP methods. Just because the most common ones are GET, POST, and HEAD doesn't mean we should leave out the others; both PUT and DELETE are quite useful. Best regards, Jeremy Sandell
