| Question: why does the FBSD port of WEB500GW-2.1b2 require Apache when | WEB500GW is its own HTTPD and doesn't talk to other HTTPD's? Someone else also gave me feedback on this. web500gw can be run in two modes, as a standalone daemon or as a CGI. I set up the port to install it to be used as a CGI, for Apache, with the hopes that those who use other web servers would add support for them. It's becoming clear that people would rather have it installed as a standalone daemon (in /usr/local/bin). That, plus the recent thread in -ports about what to do if a web server is required, have convinced me to go this route. I'll submit patches tomorrow to this effect; I'll have the port print instructions on what to do if you want to use it as a CGI, but the web server will no longer be required by a DEPEND.
