<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>
