Yes, this is exactly why I was wondering whether FastCGI had been
implemented (though SCGI works for me as well) - so that I could write
something on top of it, in much the same way I would using (for example)
WSGI in Python.

I also agree with you re: supporting all of the HTTP methods. Just because
the most common ones are GET, POST, and HEAD doesn't mean we should leave
out the others; both PUT and DELETE are quite useful.
