Local CGI & Euphoria

Hi all,

I've been tinkering around with PERL & CGI lately, and I know that
Euphoria would be great for CGI too. So I went to work trying to get a
HTTP server to work locally, so I could use CGI scripting with Euphoria.
I setup the WinHttpd package, along with a TCP/IP package so WinHttpd
would work (it needed a few DLLs).

The HTTP server worked, but just stayed idle & wouldn't do anything.
The way I understand that CGI works is that to the script, the client is
STDOUT & the script is STDIN (and that's how the post method works, by
putting input in STDIN to the script instead of in a query string).


               <---STDIN----
script (server)              client (browser)
               ---STDOUT--->


So my questions are:

        1. is there a way to redirect STDIN & STDOUT globally?
        2. can you make an HTTP server work locally?
        3. do you have to somehow enable TCP/IP locally for it to
           work?


Thanks alot everyone!
