OTOH, if you can run a server on other ports, you can bind awful/spiffy
to, say, port 8080 and use your front-end web server as a proxy for
awful/spiffy.

There's yet another approach, which is horrible and should probably not
even be mentioned, but should still work (considering you can run a
server and bind it to a port, and you _cannot_ use the front-end server
as a proxy, but the CGI interface is available): make a CGI program
which accesses awful giving it the request parameters (using the
http-client egg, for example) and reply back to the front-end server the
awful response.

That'd be totally awful, although awful would be just part of the whole
"solution".


Best wishes.
