CGI Service Settings

The CGI-service allows for other programs to be called upon receive of a request, and return the output of that other program as a web response.

The called program can be a script (shell, perl, python etc.) or any other arbitrary program.

Service Root Directory

Specifies the directory which holds the cgi service's script files.
Some example-scripts are found in "$(STX_HOME)/goodies/webServer/data/sampleServerDir/cgi-bin", so this directory can be used to play with initially.

Scripts must have the execute permission set (unix: "chmod +x") in order to be executable by the webserver.

Default Filename

Name of a script-file or name of a document-file which is to be used if the requested file is not found.
If left empty, an error response will be generated for such a request.

An example-script to play with is "default.cgi", found in the above example directory.
