We want to do dynamic page generation and storage of a website/s, but store
the pages in a database instead of .yaws files in a directory.

So instead of using the part of the url www.website.com/page.yaws to let
the "page.yaws" content be read from a file - being able to provide a binary
for processing - providing this as a key to select a page.

Currently yaws does process the file as a binary but you have to go to a lot
of trouble to change the behaviour of loading this from a db instead of a
file.

CGI will execute an application.
This will load a .yaws file from a database or other source and process like a
normal .yaws file.

The reason for this, we supply applications to various entities, and storing
the webpages in a database will ensure that we can quickly "add" allowed
pages (which we encrypt in the database) and we can hide certain customer
specific pages from prying eyes. All pages are in a "single virtual
directory"

Doing this by keeping the yaws files in seperate directories can be done but
gets very inelegant.

Hope this makes it clearer.

This type of application has been built many times with yaws. Actually
yaws (as we know it today) excels at that using appmods.
