4.4.2 Invoking CGI programs

Invoke CGI programs by specifying a URL from the Web browser in the following format:

http://host-name[:port-number]/path-name[?query-string]

• host-name [:port-number]

  Specify the host name or the IP address running the Web server, and the port number. If you omit the port number, the request will be sent to port number 80.

• path-name

  Specify the CGI program path for path name.

• query-string

  The query-string is a parameter to be passed to CGI programs. This parameter specifies a group of keywords and values. When you code data in the Web browser form, a query string is automatically set in the request line.
