| | Introduction to The Common Gateway Interface |
| | 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). | | | Of special note is the fact that the gateway program must write to standard output, before anything else, header messages explaining the MIME type of the data being returned by the program -- this is the only way that the server can know what type of data are being returned by the gateway program. | | | These data are sent back the the client, after some processing by the server to ensure they have the correct message headers describing the data and the state of the transaction. |

| | CGI (Common Gateway Interface) is a specification for transferring information between a Web server and a CGI program. | | | CGI programs are one of the most common ways for Web servers to interact dynamically with users. | | | For instance, a Web page that has a form on it can use a CGI program to process the form's data once it's submitted. |

| | The CGI (Common Gateway Interface) defines a way for a web server to interact with external content-generating programs, which are often referred to as CGI programs or CGI scripts. | | | Any programs that you invoke in your CGI program (like 'sendmail', for example) will need to be specified by a full path, so that the shell can find them when it attempts to execute your CGI program. | | | Note that questions about CGI problems should never be posted to the Apache bug database unless you are sure you have found a problem in the Apache source code. |
