Copying things from request.META to the env parameter of Popen allows me to get the cgi off the ground. Now I have the problem that the cgi is generating a cookie and content type, which django returns to the browser as page content.
Is there a way to pass it back transparently? Or, failing that, can someone point a newbie to an appropriate method to parse the header so it can be used to create a HttpResponse?
