What is the status of Boost.Cgi by Darren Garvey? It seems that the library hasn't been accepted and it's now 2015 - at least 7 years after last Boost Users mailing list post regarding its status. Michael
Hi Michael, Has it been seven years? I'm going to assume that's a lie and move merrily on. ;) I never submitted the library to Boost, so in hindsight I could have started the library outside of the boost namespace. As far as I know it's being used in several production sites, but I think there are a number of things that would be required of the library before I'd consider it of the quality required to pass a boost review. I've not had time to polish the library, add the full suite of tests it requires, add a client side part of the library*, etc. If yourself or anyone was interested in improving the library I'd be happy to accept pull requests (or bug reports)! A few others have helpfully already done as much. The library is on github [1] in case you're looking for the current set of sources. Cheers, Darren * The library is kept relatively nice and simple by the fact it only addresses the use case of a website behind a general-purpose web server; maybe there is no need for a client-side part of it?

I was referring to this post: http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2008/05/137491.php I've actually worked on and off on a CGI library for the past 5 years or so myself. I understand, and now that I have a baby I thought my personal learning project would benefit from being integrated with an existing project with similar goals, and boost is the knees.

Will read through the source code and see what time I may be able to commit. Thanks for the reply.
