3 - Scripts




I The script applications have all been designed to be (more-or-less) CGI Ocompliant. The HTTPd server passes request data only via CGI variables. In a Osimilar fashion to the CERN implementation these CGI variables are implemented Aas DCL symbols, with the standard CGI variable names prefixed by 9``WWW_''. Script applications usually return a Kfull HTTP response (i.e. generate their own header and a full data stream, Aand could be considered the equivalent of no-parse-header Bscripts), although server generation of headers is also available.

@ It may be possible to adapt these applications to other server Menvironments. As the author considers some of the scripts to be quite usefulL(e.g. HyperReader, a hypertext Bookreader application) this is encouraged. >The GNU General Public License still applies of course.
