I agree about some design flaws.
I thought you would create a fork of this projetc  :)

Hi Leonardo, do you also participate of ExtPascal's list, right?
Thanks for your example... do you continue using ExtPascal?

Do you use CGI or FastCGI? What libs/frameworks?

OK. What about the oficial site and sources, could you like tell?

I think would use threads in FasCGI apps. if each CGI is a request for
one to one, then why use threads?

I agree with you.
I always think to be my own boss and open a company... and use my
