AI lab Web Server Notes

The web server which is serving these documents is a modified NCSA HTTP server, version 1.1. This server has been modified to allow CGI scripts and ordinary files to be served out of the same directories; see here for details on how to write scripts for this server.

(A CGI script is a program to which the Web server effectively delegates control of a certain region of Web space --- all requests for files and forms submissions in that region are referred to the program, which can respond to the client in any way that it likes. These can be written in any language; Perl and C are common choices; Scheme is also possible).

The home page was designed by Robert Thau, with considerable assistance from Laurel Simmons and Mike Wessler, and helpful suggestions from several others.

If you want to write some hypertext, information is here.
