[MacPerl-WebCGI] (INFO) The revival of MacHTTP

Hi all,

I've found the following in TidBITS#566 :


**Chuck Shotton Resurrecting MacHTTP** -- Chuck Shotton, the man
   who created the first Web server for the Macintosh, is
   resurrecting that early program, MacHTTP, and is once again making
   it available to the Macintosh community. As the Internet's
   popularity grew, Chuck built on his experience with MacHTTP and
   was responsible for large parts of StarNine's WebSTAR (now owned
   by 4D). He left StarNine some time ago to focus on his own
   company, BIAP Systems, whose flagship product is the automated
   information retrieval program GOtrieve. Now, however, he has
   posted a minor update to MacHTTP, addressing a few performance
   issues and redoing the license to allow for free non-commercial
   use. MacHTTP isn't a high-performance Web server and it lacks the
   high-end features from products like WebSTAR and Tenon's WebTen.
   But hey, it's free, most people don't need serious performance,
   and it's great to have an old friend that once won Apple's Cool
   Tools award rejoining the community. Chuck is even considering
   making MacHTTP open source. You can download a copy of MacHTTP 2.3
   (498K) at the MacHTTP.Org Web site. [ACE]
