Can you POST from a browser on a PC to a server app on the same PC ?

How do you do this? I assume you write your CGI program the same way (or must
you use a TWebApplication to do this?). Does loopback IP addresses come into
this? I can get as far as the CGI program starting up, but there is no
environment variables or STDIN set up to allow it run normally. How does one
go about a "stand-alone FORM POST"?
