Not necessarily true. CGI could shell out to other CGI code if it wanted to. Turtles all the way down.

What if the backend is not CGI ? What if I want to use a script to gzip the output of a backend that doesn't compress anything ? Of course you can just call that backend through HTTP, but then you add another huge dependency on your little script that should just be as simple as "gzip -c -"
