Hello all, I just realised my SoC cgi proposal _abstract_ shows a serious error. I updated it accordingly but I don't have proper net access so I can't update cgi.sf.net (the 'further discussion' page) yet. This (pretty drastic) error stems from a naive assumption of mine - that class template arguments can be deduced from constructor args (wrong!) - so that can't help my chances. As it happens, _only_ the basic FCGI and SCGI examples are wrong: cgi::request req(&service); becomes cgi::request req = service.get_request(); That's what I was using up until I started writing my proposal, but it's ugly so I tried to find an alternative. For now I'll have to regress to the old syntax since I can't think of a better way right now. This isn't likely to be used in user code though, so I suppose it doesn't matter too much that it's not very clean/intuitive. Apologies for wasting anyones time (in case you were trying to figure out how I managed it), Darren
