General CGI URL syntax and parameters

CGI parameters are written in lower-case and as one word without any underscores or other

separators. When the CGI request includes internal camera parameters, the internal

parameters must be written exactly as they are named in the camera or video server. The CGIs

are organized in function related directories under the cgi-bin directory. The file extension of the

CGI is required.

Syntax:

http://<servername>/cgi-bin/<subdir>[/<subdir>...]/<cgi>.<ext>

[?<parameter>=<value>[&<parameter>=<value>...]]

Example: Setting digital output #1 to active

http://mywebserver/cgi-bin/dido/setdo.cgi?do1=1
