[Webware-discuss] Webware C CGI adapter

[Ian B. <ia...@co...>]

Someone was talking about a C-based CGI adapter, to make for a fast
startup.  So, I gave it a go.  The adapter is attached.  It works with
the very small amount of testing I've given it.  You just do:
  gcc CAdapter.c -o CAdapter.cgi
to make it.  It looks for address.text in its directory by default --
you can just make a symbolic link as a sort of configuration.

I've tested it on Linux, but it's real simple so I think it should
port to any Unix without problem.  Windows has a different socket
interface, I think, but my guess is that's the only portability issue
-- everything else is really simple C.  Not that I've ever done any C
programming in Windows...

It's my first socket program in C, so I'm hoping I didn't do anything
wrong.  (No buffer overflows, I think)

How do people benchmark these sorts of things?
