1 CGIWrap - Introduction 2 __________________________________________________________________ 3 4 CGIWrap is a gateway program that allows general users to use CGI 5 scripts and HTML forms without compromising the security of the http 6 server. Scripts are run with the permissions of the user who owns the 7 script. In addition, several security checks are performed on the 8 script, which will not be executed if any checks fail. 9 10 CGIWrap is used via a URL in an HTML document. As distributed, cgiwrap 11 is configured to run user scripts which are located in the 12 ~/public_html/cgi-bin/ directory.
