The RunCGI plug-in
For a long time, the CGI interface was the onl;y way to create dynamic
pages on a server. CGI's are external applications that are called by the
server, they need to be executed each time a request is passed to them.
Many legacy systems used these "easy to create in just about any language"
solutions. Most functions that were CGI oriented are now plug-in or servlet
based since this offers more portability and execution speed.
The principal reason to keep these old CGI's running is that very often,
hundreds of pages rely on them for some process or web based application
and it would not be economically wise to rewrite all of these to some new
Server base.
An extension list will be built from the cgi.list file. Allowing for any
extension structure to be used, aftewards, the request is matched to fit
an actual CGI processed which is launched.
- HoverWEB with the RunCGI plug-in creates a seamless interface to legacy
plug-ins
- Use them as they used to work if they complied with NCSA standards
- Just edit the cgi.list file to enable or disable your CGI softwares.
- Internet Interactif can most probably port your existing CGI to a plug-in
or Servlet.
