That’s not a limitation of Network.CGI; it’s just the way CGI always works, no matter what language you use. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server-side_scripting > specifically, this means, i cannot move the executable to an android > mobile phone and use it there (assuming that there is a web server, e.g. > i-jetty, which understands cgi (does it?)). is this correct? You’d need a Haskell compiler that targets Android; I don’t know whether such a thing exists yet. (Of course, keep in mind that if the CGI script is running on another computer, such as <http://andersk.mit.edu/greet.cgi> , you will still be able to visit it and use it from a browser running on Android. That’s the point of CGI; only the server needs to know how to run the code.)
