## Caveats

- Works only on unix as it reads from /dev/fd/0 and /dev/random.

## Buggy on implementations

- Does not work with mit-scheme
    - For some reason mit-scheme exits when it reads eof-object from standard
    input
- STklos
    - No output for some reason

## How to use

Example using Gauche in Docker.

lighttpd.conf:

    server.document-root = "/workdir"
    server.port = 3000
    server.modules += ("mod_cgi", "mod_dirlisting")
    cgi.assign = (".scm"  => "/usr/bin/scheme-script")
    dir-listing.activate = "enable"

Dockerfile:

    FROM schemers/gauche
    RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends lighttpd
    WORKDIR /workdir
    EXPOSE 3000
    COPY lighttpd.conf /lighttpd.conf
    RUN echo "#!/bin/sh" > /usr/bin/scheme-script
    RUN echo "exec gosh -r7 -I ./snow \$@" >> /usr/bin/scheme-script
    RUN chmod +x /usr/bin/scheme-script
    ENTRYPOINT ["/usr/sbin/lighttpd", "-D", "-f", "/lighttpd.conf"]

hello.scm:

    (import (scheme base)
            (scheme write)
            (retropikzel cgi))

    (display "Content-type: text/html")
    (display "
")
    (display "
")
    (display "Hello")
    (display "
")

    (display "Request: ")
    (write (get-request))
    (display "
")
    (cgi-exit)

Run:

    docker build . --tag=scheme-cgi
    docker run -it -v ${PWD}:/workdir -p 3000:3000 scheme-cgi

Then navigate with your browser to http://127.0.0.1:3000
