helper program to modify config files using cgi scripts

configfileform

This project tries to provide a simple way to access some config files over an HTTP server.

The problem

When making use of configuration, the challenge is stay minimal.

This is (most of the time) in contrast with making it accessible via a web server.

The solution

The final goal is that configuration is stored in ascii files like in /etc, as KEY=VALUE pairs, and comments preceded with #.

Using configfileform, you can easily create a .cgi script like the one in examples/, that generates a web page, and updates the file on request.
