NAME
       public-inbox.cgi - CGI wrapper for PublicInbox::WWW

SYNOPSIS
       You generally want to run public-inbox-netd or public-inbox-httpd,
       instead

DESCRIPTION
       public-inbox.cgi provides a CGI interface wrapper on top of the
       PSGI/Plack PublicInbox::WWW module.  It is only provided for
       compatibility reasons and NOT recommended.

       CGI with Perl is slow due to code loading overhead and web servers lack
       the scheduling fairness of public-inbox-netd(1) and
       public-inbox-httpd(1) for handling git clones and streaming large mbox
       downloads.

COMPATIBILITY NOTE
       When using the CGI with Apache, make sure to set AllowEncodedSlashes to
       On, as public-inbox makes heavy use of encoded slashes.
