Two things that I sometimes get asked for as new features in WWWOFFLE
are the ability to change URLs or to modify the contents of web pages
(both using a user supplied program).
In both cases these are not features that I have a very strong feeling
for adding to WWWOFFLE. It would take a lot of CPU effort to pass
every URL or every page through an external script. You have the
overhead of starting the scripting engine and people are going to want
to use perl or other fully featured script languages not simple shell
scripts for this.
I thought that people might use the built-in web server and CGI
functions but very few people have ever mentioned using them. Some
features that seem useful to people who want to write scripts like
this won't get used by most people and will be a waste of effort to
implement and maintain.
