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
