..except that I don't wish to use async http, because my requests are done from
within a CGI script. Once I start waiting for an async http port, my cgi script
finishes and dies before I get the response. I prefer waiting for synchronous
http rather than sleep() or have a while loop waiting for a boolean value to be
true. I want my CGI script to move straightforward from start to end.

Do I have to? Does retrieving content from a web server necessarily involve disk
activity? I have to open a port, sure, but I don't have to mess with my disk
drive, do I?

It could be anything, really. It could be http://www.rapideuphoria.com/. The CGI
script reads (will read, hopefully) the webpage into a string and rewrite some of
it to be displayed in the client browser. E.g. I could extract whatever is within
the <title> tags.

Thanks for peeking into this, anyway.
