here's a secret: you build the framework and abstractions on top of cgi, or fcgi, or embedded http server

all php frameworks run on top of fcgi, cgit and bugzilla are both on cgi, and have their own extra abstractions, though bugzilla also has the perl cgi module in between

cgi itself is just a way to dispatch request information
