Running Fossil as a standalone service is often undesirable and running it using CGI can also cause performance, security or configuration issues. I suggest implementing interface] (see also Wikipedia article] for overview). It is supported by majority of todays web servers, it is efficient and easy to implement. I suppose that modifying Fossil standalone web server to implement FastCGI interface could be quite easy using devkit] and it would be quite nice complement to <i>server</i> and <i>cgi</i> commands.

There has been a discussion concerning and also a about FastCGI] on the mailing list, but AFAIK without a definite conclusion.

If it is difficult to implement for some reason, please add a notice into FAQ or somewhere else in the documentation. Thanks.
