+# cgifun
+
+Just an extremely simple example of a CGI program with caddy web server and zig as the CGI program.
+
+To run:
+* Have caddy with [CGI plugin](https://caddyserver.com/docs/modules/http.handlers.cgi)
+* Have [zig](https://ziglang.org/download/) programming language.
+* `zig build && caddy run`
+* Open http://localhost:8080 in your browser
+
+You'll see a webpage full of environment variables which are passed as part of the CGI protocol to the cgifun program.
