cgi
The Common Gateway Interface (CGI) [22] allows an HTTP [1],
[4] server and a CGI script to share responsibility for responding to client requests. RFC 3875

CgiHttpKernel adapter from kernel to cgi functional test “legacy” apps
kernel CGI
kernel CGI anything!
$kernel = new CgiHttpKernel(__DIR__.'/app'); $request = Request::create('/index.php'); $response = $kernel->handle($request);
var_dump($response->getContent());
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Client; $client = new Client($kernel); $crawler = $client->request('GET', '/index.php');
caution: it’s slow (WIP: FcgiHttpKernel)
Where is the value?
