//! Allows you to let an external process handle the request through CGI.
//! 
//! This module provides a trait named `CgiRun` which is implemented on `std::process::Command`.
//! In order to dispatch a request, simply start building a `Command` object and call `start_cgi`
//! on it.
//! 
//! ## Example
//! 
//! ```no_run
//! use std::process::Command;
//! use rouille::cgi::CgiRun;
//! 
//! rouille::start_server("localhost:8080", move |request| {
//!     Command::new("php-cgi").start_cgi(request).unwrap()
//! });
//! ```
//!
//! # About the Result returned by start_cgi
//!
//! The `start_cgi` method returns a `Result<Response, std::io::Error>`. This object will contain
//! an error if and only if there was a problem executing the command (for example if it fails to
//! start, or starts then crashes, ...).
//!
//! If the process returns an error 400 or an error 404 for example, then the result will contain
//! `Ok`.
//!
//! It is therefore appropriate to simply call `.unwrap()` on that result. Any panic will be turned
//! into an error 500 and add an entry to the logs, which is probably what you want when your
//! server is misconfigured.
