I remember CGI very fondly. I'd still use it to this day in my personal projects if it was not for the fact that I'm running vanilla Caddy 2 that comes without support for it.

Now, CGI and FastCGI are cool, but who else here built CGIs for running on Pre-OSX Macs? I remember AppleScript/AppleEvents based CGI. The Web Server would be a GUI program running on the Mac and the CGI would also be one. They'd communicate to one another sending AppleEvents. I once made good money with a system for running school exams with it.

I miss those days a bit.

I wrote a few CGI applications for Schotton’s MacHTTP and the WebStar server on MacOS 7. Back before the days of OpenTransport!
