I don't know what CGI is. Nevertheless I was able to program a webserver 
completely in freepascal. It isn't that complicate (if you have time).
If a connection comes in then I prove how many connections are already open, 
and if it exceeds the max_connection value (which I set to 20 now) then I 
close immediately the new incoming connection. If you want I show you sample 
code. I work with nonblocked sockets. So everything is in one thread.
