Writing Scripts
Writing scripts for NCSA httpd should not be a problem. You can write
them in C, PERL, /bin/sh, or ANYTHING that will produce a UNIX
executable program. 
 
There are two major ways of accessing a script. Listed are the methods
(for use with the Limit directive),
and their uses. 
-  GET 
-  Widely supported
 -  Responds to HTML <ISINDEX> documents
 -  Limited response to HTML forms
 
 
 -  POST 
-  Fully responds to any size HTML form. 
 
 
 
We recommend you start with writing GET
scripts, and if you're interested, read about writing POST scripts.
