CGI is a standard method used to generate dynamic content on web pages.
CGI stands for Common
Gateway Interface and provides an interface between the HTTP server and programs generating web content. These programs are better known as CGI scripts. They are written in a scripting language. The Network Component provides such a scripting language. The HTTP server processes the script source file line by line and calls the CGI functions as needed. The output from a CGI function is sent to the web client (browser) as a part of the web page.
