I'd like to have a go at writing CGI in Haskell. However, I don't really want to install and configure the likes of Apache just to quickly test a simple CGI script. I was hoping that I could find a trivial little HTTP server on Hackage somewhere that would be just a simple binary that I can execute and feed CGI binaries to. But alas, the closest thing I can find is
http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hws
Alas, this does not work on Windows since it depends on the "unix" package. (In fact, almost every network-related package on Hackage depends on "unix", for reasons beyond my powers of comprehension...)
(I also looked at non-Haskell lightweight web servers, but they all unanimously don't support CGI at all, or only support CGI _scripts_, but arbitrary executables...)
In MoHWS there is code for running Haskell code as CGI code via hs-plugins. I think it must be updated to GHC-API in order to be still usable. However, I do not really understand what kind of CGI do you want or do not want.
