Hello,

I would never expect that approach to work, and a quick glance at the
code seems to confirm my doubts: A CGI program gets all the HTTP
header information passed via environment variables and can only read
the request *body* from standard input.

The read-request procedure expects to read the headers before the
body, though, so that code would have to be replaced by a problem
specific version that reconstructs the HTTP headers from the
environment.

cu,
Thomas
