[Tutor] cgi server script

[Kirk Bailey]

Steve got back to me and declared he oopsed, and also told me how the line 
should appear. I am waiting to hear what he thinks of the threading cgi server 
from the book, which also appears to have a hairball in it.

IT WORKS!!! And If I can finger (sic) out how to have it declare a default web 
directory and cgi-bin and images directory, and NOT let people walts all over 
the mainframe, this could actually become a useful little tool.

In fact, as a giggle, I may just stick it on Critter when it is done, on an 
alternate port (hmm, firewall rules...) and make the thing available with a few 
bells and whistles. For an ittybitty, it's pretty nice.
