CGI (Common Gateway Interface)Common Gateway Interface is a standard for interfacing external applications with information servers, such as HTTP or Web servers. CGI programs may be written in any language, compiled or interpreted, that is supported by the hosting computer. The program is accessed either directly by URL, or included in an HTML page using Server-Side Includes. The output is sent to the client by the web (or other) server.

Common Gateway Interfaces may not exist if a web server does not allow one (as it can pose a security risk), or if a web server allows "desktop language" scripts to be ran anywhere on the server that the client can access.
