tcpserver does not pipe input. It sets certain environmental variables, closes fd's 0 and 1 and runs another command line program. It has no quivalent to QUERY_STRING. Very different from CGI or this Websocket contraption. Much safer.
But the parent says that "most command line tools were never written to be exposed to the internet at large", and tcpserver is a command line tool that runs other command line tools, so is tcpserver OK to use for "real work" by his standards? Maybe we should use a GUI tool "written to be exposed to the internet at large"?
