I have been working on converting a local fortran 77 program to run as
a cgi program under the Apache webserver on our FreeBSD machine. No
perl and no special libraries are required to do what we need, and the
fortran code is compact and straightforward. I have posted some
explanation and examples at:

http://www.nber.org/sys-admin/fortran-cgi

The trick is to use the POST method with MIME type multi-part/form-
data so that form data is separated from header information and can be
read with either free or fixed fortran reads.

Any comments much appreciated.

I presume you have looked into the cgi-src folder contained in the old
NCSA HTTPd distribution ? The utilities they have are written in C. Not
fortran, but perhaps useful examples to translate or build on.

I have been using a fortran library by L. Chiappetta from around 1999.
It makes converting a fortran program to be a cgi program quite easy,
but I forget where I got it from. Try google.

You might be interested in my toy application

http://www.qimr.edu.au/davidD/Sockets/httpserver.f95

which can extract POST'ed data. It uses a little sockets library
(see http://www.qimr.edu.au/davidD/ under "fortransockets" for the details).

Cheers, David Duffy.
