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 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. With this release, ZCGI can now interact with Page Templates by being able to base the output on *standard_template.pt* (Vanilla Zope) or *main_template* (CMF). A number of fixes to the handling of POST content, and the reporting of debugging errors all make ZCGI more usable both in development and production. 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. Thanks also go to Paolo Petta - mailto:paolo@ai.univie.ac.at for finding the bug with multi-value parameters. Thanks to Brett Goodwin - mailto:brett@brettgoodwin.com for finding the bug where scripts that throw before sending output to stdout cause the wrong error to be raised. The new version is available from http://www.zope.org/Members/haqa and now (thanks to ZCGI) you can get the very latest updates from http://cvs.haqa.co.uk/viewcvs/Products/ZCGI !!
