Re[2]: HTTP Server's jobs for CGI applications

[eric.delong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

     Great! You've found a new "holy war" topic to compete with the 
     recurring DOW/DOU, RPG/Java, E-rpg/net.data debates. Way to go 
     guys...... cookie wars! :)
     
     How does this topic involve the AS400?

And I still say from these pages you don't have enough expierience with real 
e-commerce sites to say what you do.  Especially if you're referring to ALL 
web pages, not just simple little home pages (I don't care if there's 
1000000 pages, they're still static and are just for show).
     
I'm not putting down your home page, it's really nice, just try and qualify 
your statements with real life experience.
     
I love it... Backgrounds, brrr!  Frames, GRRR!!! haha...  Frames have their 
place, but i agree, some folks overuse them, but most of the time people 
that use them are just learning how they work and trying them out.  They 
work better for standard headers than an SSI in every page.
