URGENT: INFORMATION ABOUT WASH, GHC, CGI AND HSP

[Bayley, Alistair]

The .exe's you create with WASH (have a look at the examples) are CGI
programs, so you can drop them into (say) Apache's cgi-bin. You should be
able to use them with any http server that supports CGI.

Using Tomcat (or some other Java-based server) is probably a waste of time
(unless it supports CGI) because you're not using Java to create your web
software. Apache is a reasonable choice if you can't find anything better.
The Windows installation is pretty easy; you just need the courage to edit
the large .conf file.

If you want to integrate your programs with a Haskell http server (so you
don't spawn a new process for each request - is this still what happens with
Apache on Windows?) then you'll probably have to contact Peter Thiemann. It
is possible, as he says in section 9 of:
http://www.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/~thiemann/haskell/WASH/draft.pdf

"We have successfully integrated the WASH/CGI library with a Web server
written in Haskell by Simon Marlow [24]. In this server, a WASH/CGI
application can run like a servlet in its own thread."
