RE: Simple Proposal for setting HTTP headers

>> The second question is which programming languages will be available, and that one is a tad more complex.

Current usage of server side code mostly focus on header and very simple Content, PHP looks heavy here. I think CGI can just meet all requirements
* Completely control the http response. Thus , for "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-15" header issue, it is very easy via CGI script.
* No limitation on programming language - Python, or even Shell
* Lightweight. All web server already natively support CGI.
The only downside I thought is CGI is a old technique, which is process based instead of thread.
