CGI scripting

[dukester]

Is there a module for CGI scripting? Thx ...

I haven't seen one, but perhaps someone else has.

OK .. is this the best place to ask? Doesn't seem to be much traffic here. I listen to IRC #janet but nobody seems to be there either. --

I think it's good to ask here. I know I get notifications when there's a post here, and I'm guessing many others do as well. And, personally, I prefer the asynchronous nature of the forum.

Sorry, I don't know the answer to your question though. Maybe the docs to Joy may shed some light?

@dukester If you'd like more real-time communication, there are some gitter channels (also reachable via matrix) listed here: https://janet-lang.org/#Community

@sogaiu Don't do gitter/matrix. But thx. --

Yes!

Thanks for the link John!

Not really a module, but I was messing around with getting a working Janet CGI scripting setup running on a Debian server just now:

https://git.sr.ht/~harryvederci/janet-cgi-example

It's mainly for configuring the server, but the main.janet file does result in a working CGI response.

Notes:

• This is the first time I'm doing anything with CGI, so don't use it as a reference of how things should be done.
• There's a "TODO" item in the 00_configure-server-example-debian.bash script about checking if I'm using a correct version of apache2.
• I did a few modifications after setting up my own configuration. It should still work, but I thought it would be polite to mention it :)

@dukester I haven't used it yet, but apparently there's a Go application with which you can serve Janet applications using CGI/SCGI/FastCGI:
