That definitely works. The issues are: (a) Load and performance on
the server, since the script needs to pick up and the file, rather
than having the web server just deal with it. (b) Possible client-
side performance, since the CGI script probably won't implement ranged
GETs. If the files are relatively small (<15MB or so), it shouldn't
be much of an issue; I was sending out video files (300MB+), and
having a CGI script touch each byte wasn't really an option.
This is now fairly off-topic, but if you have other questions, don't
hesitate to ping me off-list.
