CGI includes ASP, Perl, and PHP (when it comes to Abyss). So if you just use PHP, then you technically have CGI without Perl.

Isn't cgi just an executable that uses standard output?
Like printf("Hello world\n") in C.
Or is that not possible with Abyss? |

Found it :idea:
cgi output needs status replies first to work, will probably use http://www.boutell.com/cgic/ library.
Thanks for the reply :wink: |

CGI is basically dynamic script (as oppose to static text, like HTML).

CGI is basically output from a program, it therefore is not script, but generated html output that the server would send back to the browser.
Like sending only "<html>Hello</html>" would not work, becouse the browser first wants to know if the "get /..." statement it send was succesfully received.
Therfore sending "Status: 200 OK\n\n<html>Hello</html>" will work, becouse the CGI-program is first telling status 200, that means ok. And then sending the html code the browser requested.
I just forgot to send the status :oops: , so now all is working ok :D
Thanks again. |

CGI is not Perl (there is a big confusion between CGI and Perl because Perl was for more than 5 years the only CGI capable scripting language).
CGI is a protocol that describes how an executable and web server can dialog to generate dynamic content. For technical details, please refer to http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/cgi .

Yeah, that's what I thought it was (or something like that).
Thank you for the clarification.
