Please consider a way to set environ variables to fake the adress the
server is running on (the server runs on localhost:12345, but it thinks
it runs on https://somecoolsite.com/). This is important to make it work
in a reverse proxy situation. And reverse proxy is a nice thing, because
it gives you almost all benefits of {s,p,f}cgi, but does not require any
special module/program for apache, because the work is done by
mod_proxy.
Philosopically speaking it's quite nice to wrap up a http request into a
new http request instead of "private" protocol of some longrunning cgi
process.
