I do some pre-processing on scgi data and I fill a struct: request.get[] request.post[] request.cookie[] request.headers[string] then I call a virtual function (to override on subclasses) like: do(request, output); where user fill output struct in a way like: output.data ~= "<html><body><h1>hello world</h1></body></html>"; output.status = 200 output.cookies = bla bla and then if is method != "head" i send headers + data, else just "headers". btw 99% of usage is get, post, head. Yes, but if you want to write a web site that is RESTful you need the other HTTP methods as well, at least PUT and DELETE. BTW, what about creating something like Rack but for D. Rack is a low level interface in front of the web server which web frameworks can be built on top. http://rack.github.com/ -- /Jacob Carlborg 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
Although I have no idea if the rest of the 9 HTTP methods are useful, e.g. trace, options, connect and patch.
