You can run PWS and the never Comanche as servers on their own port.  I
don't know of anyone who has gotten Squeak to run underneath Apache,
though it's doable with a little programming.

Squeak comes with PWS.  With PWS, you implement one method #process:
which accepts a HTTP request and puts a reply back.  Hook your class up
like this:

	PWS link: 'testservlet' to: MyClass new

Start PWS like this:

	PWS serveOnPort: 8080 loggingTo: 'pws.log'


Now you can connect to /testservlet on the localhost and it will run
your #process: command.  To figure out how to write #process: methods,
see ScreenshotAction for a very simple example, ServerAction for a
fairly simple example, and SwikiAction for a complicated example.

If you really get into it, you'll probably want to grab Comanche.  I'm
afraid I don't know details of getting started with Comanche, though....
