The Common Gateway Interface (CGI) is a method used by webservers to run external programs (known as CGI scripts ), most often to generate web content dynamically. Whenever a web page queries a database, or a user submits a form, a CGI script is usually called upon to do the work. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
