<para>The <acronym>CGI</acronym> slave provides a way to execute
|
||
|
|
<acronym>CGI</acronym> programs without the need to have a running web
|
||
|
|
server. This can for example be used for local testing of
|
||
|
|
<acronym>CGI</acronym> programs or for using search engines that only
|
||
|
|
provide a <acronym>CGI</acronym> frontend like the one from
|
||
|
|
<application>Doxygen</application>.</para>

|
|
<para>The slave implements the <command>cgi:</command> protocol. It
|
||
|
|
uses the filename from the given &URL; and searches a configurable
|
||
|
|
list of directories. If it finds an executable with the given name it
|
||
|
|
executes it, passes the arguments of the &URL; and sets the
|
||
|
|
environment variables needed by <acronym>CGI</acronym>
|
||
|
|
programs.</para>
