Chapter 11, Extending Your Server With Programs

Installing Windows NT CGI Programs
Overview of Windows NT CGI
Programs
Windows NT CGI programs are handled much as other CGI programs. You
specify a directory that contains only Windows NT CGI programs, or you
specify that all Windows NT CGI programs have the same file extension. Note
that like other CGI programs, you can use both methods at the same time if you
want to. For example, you can create a directory for all your Windows NT CGI
programs, and specify a Windows NT CGI file extension.
Although Windows NT CGI programs behave like regular CGI programs, your
server processes the actual programs slightly differently. Therefore, you need to
specify different directories for Windows NT CGI programs. If you enable the
Windows NT CGI file type, it uses the file extension
.wcg
.
Netscape Enterprise Servers support the Windows NT CGI 1.3a informal
specification, with the following differences:
•
The following keywords have been added to the [CGI] section to support
Netscape security methods:
—
HTTPS
: its value is on or off, depending on whether the transaction is
conducted through SSL.
—
HTTPS Keysize
: when HTTPS is on, this value reports the number of
bits in the session key used for encryption.
—
HTTPS Secret Keysize
: when HTTPS is on, this value reports the
number of bits used to generate the server’s private key.
•
The keyword Document Root in the [CGI] section might not refer to the
expected document root because the server does not have a single
document root. The directory returned in this variable is the root directory
for the Windows NT CGI program.
•
The keyword Server Admin in the [CGI] section is not supported.
•
The keyword Authentication Realm in the [CGI] section is not supported.
•
Forms sent with multi-part/form-data encoding are not supported.
