you do realize that you can just use Apache instead of writing your own rust program for this, as this is more or less the CGI standard?

I know about the CGI standard, but mine does things a little differently (executable files don't just render pages but also handle logging, access control, etc. when put in special positions within a directory), so I still think it was worth the afternoon i spent making it.

Yeah, especially if you did this for practice.

Just saying, that apache, for big projects, is more battle-hardened. ;-)

Oh yeah definitely, Apache is way better for anything remotely serious.
