OK! We're back from Thanksgiving... The first topic on my mind this morning is how CGI scripting interfaces work on Windows. I know *nothing* about this! Please educate me. Send mail to dave@scripting.com.

Questions:

  1. Which web servers should we be concerned with? Microsoft and Netscape for sure. O'Reilly's WebSite? Others? We're running Microsoft's server here.

  2. Is there a common interface for all web servers as there is on the Mac? What protocols are used? DDE? COM? TCP/IP? Command-line?

  3. We have a website framework in Frontier. Will we be able to connect that framework up to Windows servers so we can have cross-platform CGI apps?

If someone wants to write a definitive piece on this, I'll post it.
