CGI (Common Gateway Interface)

CGI is an API for interfacing external applications with information Servers, such as an HTTP Server. CGI can be used with any Programming Language. A plain HTML document that the HTTP Server retrieves upon a request is static, which means it exists in a constant state, for example as a text file that does not change. A CGI program, on the other hand, is executed in real-time, so that it can generate dynamic information.
