[Zope] Re: PCGI - what's it do

[Michael Havard]

I'm still not sure that I understand what PCGI does. But it sounds like if I 
don't know what it does and something doesn't ask for it specifically then I 
don't need it.

I just want to make sure if we don't use I don't break anything (i.e. if we 
front end with Apache using rewrite rules it shouldn't need PCGI).
