>There is a reason for CGI, you know. Yes, for example to take client input from an HTML form and say search a database on the server. A single server application. But as I understand it, CGI cannot easily set up the sort of automatic "chain reaction" I referred to involving possibly hundreds of different servers. There has to be a simple and standard protocol in place to allow this. Maybe HTML is not the best place to do this. A neural-network type structure has been suggested instead and this is probably preferable, but the resistance to scrapping HTML would be immense.
