Good catch! I've applied your patch to the devel branch and rebuilt the package.
I don't think it's worth issuing an F7 update for this, though. And also, have
you tried lighttpd? It has much better CGI/FastCGI support than boa IMHO.

Thanks Matthias.

Good enough.

I'll give it a try although it appears to be a little overkill for what I want:
I just need a small footprint web server for a ARM based embedded system (Flash:
8MB).
