Hi,

Did anyone realistically practised CGI in Ada?

I know about AWS, but let's focus on "regular" web server (say, Apache)
with CGI in Ada serving dynamic content.

If yes, are there any reasonable libraries for handling url
encoding/decoding, html entity escaping, form data retrieval, cookies, etc.?

Technically everything is possible, but I'm curious whether Ada has been
successfully used in this area.

David Wheeler's AdaCGI is a fairly complete solution.
I haven't created a larger site with it, though.

There are quite a few libraries for GCI in Ada them and GNAT even got an
integrated version. AFAIK the best GCI library is the one in AdaCL [1].

I have used Adacgi for simple cgi'ing: form data retrieval. The
pages are not available any more on internet :(

Which I have extended and incorporated into AdaCL. While I value David's
initial work it is superseded now - the AdaCL version can do more - most
notably it supports file upload.
