<para
>The <acronym
>CGI</acronym
> slave provides a way to execute <acronym
>CGI</acronym
> programs without the need to have a running web server. This can for example be used for local testing of <acronym
>CGI</acronym
> programs or for using search engines that only provide a <acronym
>CGI</acronym
> frontend like the one from <application
>Doxygen</application
>.</para>
<para
>The slave implements the <command
>cgi:</command
> protocol. It uses the filename from the given &URL; and searches a configurable list of folders. 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 <acronym
>CGI</acronym
> programs.</para>
