>An IPP server is not going to be a general-purpose HTTP server, >and implementing it as a CGI script would be braindead anyway, That sounds like a very considered opinion, can you elucidate? For the record, we've implemented IPP as CGI (well, a set of C++ functions called by our general purpose embedded web server) and all seems to be running fine. I can think of many reasons why you'd want to base it on an existing web server, not the least of which is keeping the code size reasonable. I would imagine that most printer OEMs would do a lot of soul searching before deciding to use two separate instances of much the same code in a printer... Cheers, Nick Webb Auco, Inc.
