Re: gatling success story

With the looks of it, gatling is a very promising httpd. If your going to add 
native support for FastCGI, I will be replacing apache with gatling for my production httpd.
I'm already using fnord with FastCGI via cgi-fcgi but nothing beats built-in support.
Unfortunately I don't have the skill to help in coding stuff for the httpd,
any other help needed?
