Version 1.1.0 of ZCGI is now available. ZCGI is designed to bridge the gap between traditional web design, and Zope. In a traditional web environment, if you want server-side processing, you write/buy/borrow a CGI-BIN script, put it in a folder that supports the CGI-BIN protocol, and then call it from a link or form on one of your HTML pages. ZCGI was originally designed to do just this, and allow people to slowly move from CGI-BIN to Zope External Methods, Python Scripts, or Python Products, but as the project has progressed, and especially after I released 1.0.0 I realized that there are a LOT of excellant CGI-BIN products out there, and it is simply not feasable to have users or authors transition to fully Zope execution (http://cvs.zope.org and uses an excellant CGI-BIN called viewcvs). So, instead of simply making the transition to Zope easier, I have now focused on making as many (Often badly written, or only marginally conformant) CGI-BIN scripts as possible able to run directly under Zope. This release gets MUCH closer with the addition of reliable handling of PATH_INFO and redirects among many other changes. Many thanks for valuable assistance bug hunting and squashing go to Marc Lindahl - http://www.zope.org/Members/bowerymarc who helped me immensely throughout this development cycle. The new version is available from http://www.zope.org/Members/haqa and now, for the first time (And thanks to ZCGI) from http://cvs.haqa.co.uk/viewcvs/ZCGI !!
