Common Gateway Interface - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Common Gateway Interface (CGI) is a standard protocol for interfacing external application software with an information server, commonly a web server. This allows the server to pass requests from a client web browser to the external application. The SCGI protocol is a replacement for the Common Gateway Interface (CGI) protocol. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Common_Gateway_Interface   (563 words)

WDVL: CGI: The Common Gateway Interface for Server-side Processing Gateways are programs which handle information requests and return the appropriate document or generate a document on the fly. Gateways can be used for a variety of purposes, the most common being the handling of FORM requests for HTTP. An HTTP server is often used as a gateway to a legacy information system; for example, an existing body of documents or an existing database application. wdvl.internet.com /Authoring/CGI   (856 words)

Introduction to The Common Gateway Interface   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) CGI (Common Gateway Interface) is the generic interface between the server and server-side 'gateway' programs. CGI (Common Gateway Interface) is the generic interface between the server and these server-side 'gateway' programs. The CGI specifies how data are sent to the gateway program (as environment variables or as data read, by the gateway program, from standard input) and what data are sent (in general, all the data sent by the client to the server, plus extra environment variables describing the status of the server). www.utoronto.ca /webdocs/CGI/cgi3.html   (265 words)

Common Gateway Interface - 1.1 The Common Gateway Interface (CGI) is a simple interface for running external programs, software or gateways under an information server in a platform-independent manner. Together with a concrete programmer interface this specifies a platform-independent interface between the script and the HTTP server. The most common implementation of CGI invokes the script as a child process using the same user and group as the server process. www.sdsmt.edu /syseng/ceng/courses/ceng444/HTTP/cgi-spec.html   (4141 words)

Last check: 2007-11-07) The Common Gateway Interface, or CGI, permits interactivity between a client and a host operating system through the WWW via the Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The Common Gateway Interface is a convention between HTTP server implementors about how to integrate such gateway scripts and programs.

drx: Common Gateway Interface [Computers: Programming: Internet: CGI] - loadaverageZero The Common Gateway Interface is a specification, or protocol, in which an external program or script interacts with a Web server by accepting parameters from the server, and then returns results which are generally displayed in a Web browser (client). Traditionally, and where the term "gateway" originates, CGI was designed to extract information from some other source, such as a database, that was not designed to be used in a hypertext environment like the Web. The most common use of the specification is to process the contents of an HTML form. loadaveragezero.com /app/drx/Internet/Protocols/CGI   (580 words)

output of HTML from CGI script A common misconception about CGI is that you can send command-line options and arguments to your program, such as command% myprog -qa blorf CGI uses the command line for other purposes and thus this is not directly possible. I have found that the most common error in beginners' CGI programs is not properly formatting the output so the server can understand it.

Define common gateway interface - a definition from Whatis.com - see also: CGI   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) The common gateway interface (CGI) is a standard way for a Web server to pass a Web user's request to an application program and to receive data back to forward to the user. The common gateway interface provides a consistent way for data to be passed from the user's request to the application program and back to the user. Because the interface is consistent, a programmer can write a CGI application in a number of different languages. searchwebservices.techtarget.com /sDefinition/0,,sid26_gci213846,00.html   (462 words)

The Common Gateway Interface   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) The Common Gateway Interface, or CGI was a specification created as a compromise between two early HTTP daemon authors who both wrote their own versions of the daemon. Two different versions of servers were in wide use at the time, one designed at the European Laboratory for Particle Physics (CERN), in Geneva, Switzerland and another at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The two authors of these daemons, Ari Luotonen, formerly at CERN, and Rob McCool, formerly at NCSA created the Common Gateway Interface. www.eng.hawaii.edu /Html/Neat/cgi.html   (453 words)

WWW:BTB -- Common Gateway Interface   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) The Common Gateway Interface (CGI) is a specification that allows World Wide Web (WWW) pages to be created dynamically by applications launched by an HTTP server. But, as the World Wide Web is now widely considered to be the "universal front-end," the focus for using the Common Gateway Interface has shifted slightly, from the remote application to the appearance of the HTML pages that CGI applications produce. If a CGI-app is constructed correctly, it can act as a gateway to other applications (in fact, this is why the Common Gateway Interface is named as it is). ei.cs.vt.edu /book/chap12/intro.html   (511 words)

CGI programs are the most common way for Web servers to interact dynamically with users. Another increasingly common way to provide dynamic feedback for Web users is to include scripts or programs that run on the user's machine rather than the Web server. www.webopedia.com /TERM/C/CGI.html   (577 words)

Common Gateway Interface - 1.1 *DRAFT* This specification uses many terms defined in the HTTP/1.1 specification [8]; however, the following terms are used here in a sense which may not accord with their definitions in that document, or with their common meaning. An alternate "shortcut" encoding for representing the space character exists and is in common use. This work is based on a draft published in 1997 by David R. Robinson in 1997, which in turn was based on the original CGI interface that arose out of discussions on the www-talk mailing list. condor.depaul.edu /~elliott/shared/draft-cgi.html   (4862 words)

Common Gateway Interface The Common Gateway Interface (CGI) is a standard for interfacing external applications with information servers, such as HTTP or Web servers. A plain HTML document that the Web daemon retrieves is static, which means it exists in a constant state: a text file that doesn't change.
