## Can herb run established CGI applications?
|
|
As of 0.7.2, herb's CGI implementation is fairly compliant and works with query strings _and_ paths. [Here's a screenshot of Cgit running under herb 0.7.2 displaying its own source code!](https://git.colean.cc/threeoh6000/herb/raw/branch/master/cgit.png)
