web server?
A
、
Consistent way for transferring data to the application program and
back to the user
B
、
Computer graphics imaging method for movies and TV
C
、
Graphic user interface for web design
D
、
Interface to access the private gateway domain
ANSWER:A
NOTE:The common gateway interface (CGI) is a standard way for a web server
to pass a user's request to an application program and to move data back
and forth to the user. When the user requests a web page (for example, by
clicking on a highlighted word or entering a web site address), the server
sends back the requested page. However, when a user fills out a form on a
web page and submits it, it usually needs to be processed by an
application program. The web server typically passes the form information
to a small application program that processes the data and may send back a
confirmation message. This method, or convention, for passing data back
and forth between the server and the application is called the common
gateway interface (CGI). It is part of the web's HTTP protocol.
