I realize there is an inherent interest in using a posix based web
server because of all the features you can get from such a product.

However, if you are doing non-c cgi development you can easily
get mpe space web based solutions working using my mpe based web
server (QWEBS). And you don't have to wait for any patches from hp :-)
