# WARNING: completely insecure
read method resource version
[ "$method" == "GET" ] || { printf "HTTP/1.0 400 Bad Request\r\n\r\n"; exit }
printf "HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\n"
printf "Content-Type: text/plain\r\n"
printf "\r\n"
cat resource

    I don't know about that but when I saw this video's thumblnail I thought it's about PHP. PHP has and still can work as an Apache FastCGI or Apache module. Not completely sure how it works nowadays but I would not be surprised to see both used.
  • r
    Yeah unfortunately PHP is the only language that really seemed to really embrace CGI and added cool shit like preloading, db connection pooling etc as FastCGI.
  • r
    But any language could write to the ez pz CGI standard and add those things.
