Hi, The project should make it clear how it supports different needs and it allows a basic to advanced path: CGI: support to allow any c++ program to output results to a browser (typical cases are to output a html or an image via a web server) FCGI,SCGI: support to build a server deamon that interfaces to a web server via tcp sockets (e.g. apache front-end via mod_fcgi to a custom c++ daemon) Web server: support to build a basic web server tied to a c++ application but with the web server also supporting CGI/FCGI on the server-side (e.g. improved asio http server) Advanced - simulations, debugging: support to build a web server thread that can be used to debug the application or to query the status of a long running application via a web browser<http://code.google.com/p/gperftools-httpd/>(see http://code.google.com/p/gperftools-httpd/) As for the other features (sessions, templates, ..) I think the first priority should be sessions but probably this is already too much for this project. I am glad this project got accepted and also that Chris is mentoring it, as there is a lot of related work already in asio examples. regards, jose On 4/23/07, Shams <shams@orcon.net.nz> wrote:
Hi,
Yes I forgot to mention that and IF possible I'd rather go with a templating system but as a separate library or project.
Here is an example of a c++ template language from Google. http://goog-ctemplate.sourceforge.net/
Thanks Shams

2. Easy way to generate the HTML DOM tree
This seems to be a commonly requested feature form cgi libraries but is it really that necessary? It seems to me that it just encourages bad habits, i.e. mixing logic and presentation. Shouldn't we instead focus on providing a convenient template system a la ctemplate but with a more appropriate API?
