Hi,

I'm trying to sort out a few things with fcl-web and the fpweb Lazarus package (bug fixes etc.) and came up with some questions.

1. Any reason for having a cgiapp.pp in /lazarus/components/fpweb/ and in /fpc.../fcl-web/src a different one?
To my best knowledge none of the copies of this file are used anywhere. It seems that /fcl../fcl-web/src/custcgi.pp (very similar code) is used when one creates a CGI application in Lazarus

2. The /lazarus/components/fpweb/ copy of cgiapp.pp seems to have some unicode related changes, but the copy in /fcl../fcl-web/src/ seems to be the more improved code (even though none of these files are used anywhere). As if someone started to make something unicode compatible but used an earlier version of the file in fcl-web. Is there a reason having them in the Lazarus install package?
Based on the unicode related changes in one of them - Are similar changes need to be done in fcl-web to make those unicode compatible? /
GetEnvironmentVariable -> GetEnvironmentVariableUTF8 FileExists -> FileExistsUTF8
DeleteFile -> DeleteFileUTF8 TFileStream.Create(UTF8ToSys('...'),fmCreate) /
I guess first fcl-web/Lazarus-fpweb should be working properly before "Unicodeifying" them.

3. As mentioned in the thread "Bug report 12110 needs a cleanup in the bug tracker system?" we need to be able to make TDataModule descendants at runtime in order to make the apache modules work if they are using TFPWebModule (like Lazarus). According to Michael this requires some object level changes somewhere.
