What is CGI in Python

This article will explain in detail what CGI is in Python. The editor thinks it is very practical, so I share it with you as a reference. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

What is CGI?

The full name of CGI is "common gateway interface" (Commone Gateway Interface).

A tool for a HTTP server to "talk" to your or other machine programs that must be run on a network server. [1]

Focus on understanding:

The Web server interacts with the Web browser by calling the CGI program, that is, the CGI program accepts the information sent by the Web browser to the Web server and sends the corresponding results to the Web server and the browser.

PS: if you need Python learning materials, you can add the group below to go to the free administrator to get it.

The most basic attempt

This machine is a windows operating system. I downloaded Python3 in advance.

Tips:

Md is to create a new folder

Cd xxx go to the xxx folder under this directory

Steps:

1. Create a new folder in your computer (www) 2. Go to the www folder and create a new cgi-bin folder (the name of the folder can be any English) 3. Enter the command python-m http.server-- cgi 8001. (Port 8001 can be specified at will, as long as it does not conflict with the open port on the computer)

Start the first CGI program!

Create a new hello.py file under the cgi-bin folder

#-*-coding: UTF-8-*-print ('Content-type:text/html\ n\ n') print (' Hello CGI~')

Enter the URL

Http://localhost:8001/cgi-bin/hello.py
