Details
CGI (Common Gateway Interface) is a protocol used to execute a program responding to a HTTP / HTTPS request.
It is widely used by webservers to create dynamic (computed) content, mainly in conjunction with scripting languages.
However, any type of executable can be launched as a CGI, if it supports the protocol.
The protocol defines a set of environment variables which are passed to the executable.
The output of the executable is the response to the HTTP / HTTPS request. A minimalistic CGI shell script:
#!/bin/sh echo "Content-Type: text/plain" # HTTP header defining the MIME type of the content echo # empty line between HTTP header and content echo "Hello world" # content
FRITZ!OS
All pages of the Webinterface are dynamical content and use CGI, initially served by websrv and today by ctlmgr.
On each HTTP / HTTPS request the CGI-Environment is created and passed to the launched CGI command.
Initially the webcm CGI commmand was used for preprocessing HTML-Files and SSI-Files which contain SSI-Directives to
access UI-Modules.
Today the luacgi CGI commmand is used to interpret Lua-Scripts which access UI-Modules through Lua-Libraries.
