This can for example be used for local testing of +CGI programs or for using search engines that only provide a CGI frontend like +the one from Doxygen. + +The IO slave implements the cgi: protocol. It uses the filename from the given +URL and searches a configurable list of directories. If it finds an executable +with the given name it executes it, passes the arguments of the URL and sets the +environment variables needed by CGI programs. + +The kcontrol module System/kcmcgi is used to configure the search paths for CGI +programs. + +If you have questions or comments please contact Cornelius Schumacher +<schumacher@kde.org>. |
