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 fiddle with header and very simple Content, php looks heavy here. IMO, CGI can just meet 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.

I know CGI is a old technique, which is process based instead of thread, and less powerful, but it is feasible in this case.
