\begin{defundesc}{cgi-handler}{bin-dir \ovar{cgi-bin-dir}}{path-handler}
Returns a path handler (see \ref{httpd:path-handlers} for details
about path handlers) for cgi-scripts located in
\semvar{bin-dir}. \semvar{cgi-bin-dir} specifies the value of the
\ex{PATH} variable of the environment the cgi-scripts run in. It defaults
to
``\ex{/bin:\ob{}/usr/bin:\ob{}/usr/ucb:\ob{}/usr/bsd:\ob{}/usr/local/bin}''
but is overwritten by the current \ex{PATH} environment variable at
the time \ex{cgi-handler} ist called. The cgi-scripts are called as
specified by CGI/1.1\footnote{see
\ex{http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/cgi/interface.html} for a sort of
specification.}.
\begin{itemize}
\item Various environment variables are set (like
\ex{QUERY\_STRING} or \ex{REMOTE\_HOST}).
\item ISINDEX queries get their arguments as command line arguments.
\item Scripts are handled differently according to their name:
\begin{itemize}
\item If the name of the script starts with `\ex{nph-}', its reply
is read, the RFC~822-fields like ``Content-Type'' and ``Status''
are parsed and the client is sent back a real HTTP reply,
containing the rest of the script's output.
\item If the name of the script doesn't start with `\ex{nph-}',
its output is sent back to the client directly. If its return code
is not zero, an error message is generated.
\end{itemize}

ftp\footnote{\ttt{}ftp://ftp-swiss.ai.mit.edu/pub/scsh/contrib/net/net.tar.gz}
and is implemented in \scm, using the system calls and support
procedures of scsh, the \Scheme Shell. The code was written to be
clear and modifiable -- it is voluminously commented and all non-\RnRS
dependencies are described at the beginning of each source file.
\FIXME{We should remove the note to read the source files and insert
the essentials here instead.}
I do not have the time to write detailed documentation for these
packages. However, they are very thoroughly commented, and I strongly
recommend reading the source files; they were written to be read, and
the source code comments should provide a clear description of the
system. The remainder of this note gives an overview of the server's
basic architecture and interfaces.
\subsection{The Scheme Underground Web Server}
The server was designed with three principle goals in mind:
