=head1 NAME

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

=head1 SYNOPSIS

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

=head1 DESCRIPTION

public-inbox.cgi provides a CGI interface wrapper on top of the
PSGI/Plack L<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 L<public-inbox-netd(1)>
and L<public-inbox-httpd(1)> for handling git clones and
streaming large mbox downloads.

=head1 COMPATIBILITY NOTE

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