Answer 1

I think the easiest way would be to run it as a system call.

You can get documentation here.

You will have to set the $_SERVER variables as environment variables for the call from values gleaned from the request header but then it should just be a matter of piping in the request body and returning STDOUT.

you should be able to do something similar to support other server side languages as well (python, ruby etc..)
