In this document we will (eventually) explain how to create Python CGI scripts

for use with NetPresenz and probably other Mac-based HTTP servers too.

for use with Personal WebServer, WebStar and probably other Mac-based HTTP servers too.

Since CGI scripts are AppleEvent servers on the mac we will also learn
|

a little about general AppleEvent server programming and about applet

debugging. <p>

To test the script drop <code>cgitest.cgi.py</code> onto <code>mkapplet</code>,

move the resulting <code>cgitest.cgi</code> to somewhere where it is reachable

For Apple's Personal Webserver you need to do a bit more: you have to copy the

cgi applet to somewhere in your "Webpages" folder and you have to tell the webserver
