Re: CGI in Ada?

Hi,

Did anyone realistically practised CGI in Ada?

Yes

I know about AWS, but let's focus on "regular" web server (say, Apache) with CGI in Ada serving dynamic content.

If yes, are there any reasonable libraries for handling url encoding/decoding, html entity escaping, form data retrieval, cookies, etc.?

Technically everything is possible, but I'm curious whether Ada has been successfully used in this area.

There are quite a few libraries for GCI in Ada them and GNAT even got an integrated version. AFAIK the best GCI library is the one in AdaCL [1].
