Title : The WWW Common Gateway Interface Version 1.1
Author(s) : D. Robinson
Filename : draft-robinson-www-interface-01.txt, .ps
Pages : 19
Date : 02/15/1996
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. Currently, the supported information servers
are HTTP servers.
The interface has been in use by the World-Wide Web since 1993. This
specification defines the interface known as `CGI/1.1', and its use on the
Unix(R) and AmigaDOS(tm) systems.

Send a message to: mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-robinson-www-interface-01.txt".
Or
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-robinson-www-interface-01.ps".
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e., documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
For questions, please mail to Internet-Drafts@cnri.reston.va.us.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the Internet-Draft.
