Network functions in the terminal
CGI script CGI (Common Gateway Interface) is a standard method for a web server for managing
data for and from the user. When the user opens a web site (by clicking a link or entering
an address in the web browser) the server sends back the required page. If you fill in
and send a form on a web site, it will usually be received by the application program.
The server will return a confirmation. The procedure for data transfer between server
and application is referred to as CGI and belongs to the HTTP protocol.
The following CGI scripts are supported to allow for changing values in the terminal:
