## High-level Overview
???
- A web framework makes it so your app doesn't need to speak HTTP or CGI or even PSGI.
- -
---
- New skills make you more marketable.
--
-- So that you it when you see PSGI exposed through your web framework.
+- So that you understand it when you see PSGI exposed through your web framework.
--
- You can do cool things with PSGI!
--
- The IETF and W3C took over standards development, resulting in [RFC 1945](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1945) ("HTTP 1.0") in 1996.
+???
+- IETF = Internet Engineering Task Force
+- W3C = World Wide Web Consortium
+
--
- [RFC 2068](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2068) ("HTTP 1.1") happened in 1997, superceded by [RFC 2616](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616) in 1999.

+- In Perl, you can get these using %ENV.
+- Or getenv from stdlib.
+- If you've done some web programming before, you're probably familiar with at least a few of these.

1. Gateway sets information about the request in the environment.
2. Print response headers to `STDOUT`.

- `Content-Type`
- `Location`
producing correctly-formatted headers, and even producing HTML.
- CGI.pm was deprecated in perl 5.20 and remove from core in perl 5.22.
-TODO make a slide for this
Good:
- Conceptually simple.
- Only requires the use of the most basic and primitive program constructs (stdin, stdout, env).
+- Only other primitive construct that could have been used is that of passing program arguments.
+ - Actually, the spec does specify behavior for "search-strings" as program arguments.
Bad:
- Details can get complicated.
???
- Unlike the interfaces we have examined so far, mod_perl is code.
+- About the same time as FastCGI.
--
- Became an Apache Software Foundation project at ApacheCon 1999 in Orlando.
```
???
-- There's a separate mod_perl for nginx.
+- Notice how we're not using STDOUT (or even pretending to).
+- This program actually runs on a perl interpreter inside the web server.
+- It also has access to more information through the exposed API.
Good:
- Can run CGI programs as-is.
Bad:
- Can tie you to specific web servers.
+ - There's a separate mod_perl for nginx.
- Code runs in the same process as the HTTP server -- kinda scary.
- Using Apache's API feels heavy.
};
```
+???
+- I think it's good to understand CGI et al. so that you can understand why it was designed the way
+ it was.
+- Hopefully the ideas behind PSGI are based off of the best that CGI et al. had to offer without any
+ of the drawbacks.
+
+
+- Notice how the program is a subroutine.
+- By being a subrouting rather than a script that is executed, we're already in a form that can be
+ called repeatedly without incurring fork-exec overhead. Nice!
+
---
```perl
1. Hashref of request information.
]
+???
+- Oh, look! The variable is the same as is specified by CGI.
+ - Why throw away over a decade of convention?
+
---
```perl
1. HTTP status code.
]
+???
+- Then you'll notice that instead of printing anything, we return an arrayref as the response.
