There is an exemple in the inets package. You should have a look at
httpd_exemple.erl.
The given configuration exemples are made to use this module as an erlang CGI
by default.

Yes. I think you are right from what I have seen...

I think the advantage is that you can customized your application to exactly
fit your need and then, you can put your apps in a single package, making your
program very easy to use and install.

The drawback is that you need to developp a program supporting at least a
subset of the http protocol.
