- Research direction
- This issue requests adding Windows support to gunicorn, a WSGI HTTP server designed for UNIX. The description is very brief and lacks concrete technical requirements. To proceed, one must analyze the current UNIX specific code (e.g., use of os.fork, signal handling, Unix sockets) and determine the minimal changes needed for Windows compatibility. The 108 comments likely contain valuable discussions about approaches and obstacles. A good starting point is to read through the comments to understand what has been tried before.
