  • cgic

    cgic: an ANSI C library for CGI Programming

    • An early protocol for webservers to run code like storing comments into files and databases was CGI (Common Gateway Interface). It was common to put CGI scripts in a cgi-bin directory that was enabled for running them. You could write them in any language though a lot were written in Perl which was in fashion at the time. I wrote a couple in C using a library called cgic. Python still has a cgi module to this day.
