Common Gateway Interface (CGI) Explained
We often hear or read the term CGI while browsing across the web. What is it really?
Keeping first things first, we should know that "CGI" is a well accepted standard.
It is used for interfacing a server and external applications.

This is the reason why CGI Specifications were created.
