Url_ReadPost is a higher-level function that you'll probably find better to
use.

Simply to use the -library command line argument (also the library Config file)
as the name of a directory and source all the *.tcl files there in
alphabetical order. Nothing fancy. This is done at the end of
httpdthread.tcl, which means towards the end of initialization.

I
My Tcl/Tk conference paper has some comparisons.
http://dev.scriptics.com/software/tclhttpd/tclhttpd-tcl2k.pdf
AOLserver is faster for simple things.
However, when I compared www.scriptics.com (TclHttpd) to
dev.scriptics.com (AOLserver) I found TclHttpd faster because the
ArsDigita stuff does stuff like record page accesses in the database to
keep track of what you've visited.

I don't think they've taken it out or anything, and they use threads so
you could do "vwait" if you wanted to. But, really, there are a bunch of
Tcl APIs in AOLserver for doing thread-ish things so I'm not sure you'd
need the event loop as much.
