CGI Programs

Common Gateway Interface (CGI) programs run on the server and generate a response to return to the requesting client. CGI programs can be written in the C, C++, Java, and Perl languages and as shell scripts. CGI programs are invoked through URL invocation.

Web Server complies with the version 1.1 CGI specification.
