Re: How kannel creates "cgi-bin" program to handle "http" requests

I'm worried about backward compatibility. If it's removed and the cgi-bin
URL no longer works, people will have to modify their applications to point
to the new URL after the upgrade.

IMHO the ideal approach would be to be able to maintain the "old" url as
well (at least for the time being, maybe with a warning on the log files
saying that it is deprecated).
