You might start by reading the wiki page for CGI: http://en.wik= ipedia.org/wiki/Common=5FGateway=5FInterface (and, if you're up = to it, read R=46C3875 after that). The moral of the story is that a CGI s= cript is just a script that expects a variety of environment variables de= scribing the request made, and the POST/PUT body on stdin. With a little = bit of experimentation, I expect you should be able to simply shell-out t= o =46ossil to do what you want.

=46ossil-Scm is a = Source Code Management System that has a built in web
server fo= r tracking issues and a wiki and such. It supports CGI also
to = avoid running long term processes while hosting multiple repos. The
=
documentation suggests creating a simple CGI script like this one fo= r
each repo you would like to host:

=23= =21/usr/bin/fossil
repository: /route/to/repo/name.fossil

And this is all fine and works wonders in my web host= ing.

What I want to do is to create a Sinatra (R= ack) app to manage those
repositories, user authentication, com= mon operations, create, delete,
etc... But in order to do that,= I want to be able to manipulate the
route and the output of th= ose webpages called via CGI.

Is there a way to t= ake a request from my Rack application, take some
parameters, s= end them to the program (fossil) as a CGI request (This I
don't= know how) and then get the output html to analyze/modify/etc...
and then sending the response from my Rack app=3F

<= div>Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
