  17 <para>The <acronym>CGI</acronym> slave provides a way to execute
  18 <acronym>CGI</acronym> programs without the need to have a running web
  19 server. This can for example be used for local testing of
  20 <acronym>CGI</acronym> programs or for using search engines that only
  21 provide a <acronym>CGI</acronym> frontend like the one from
  22 <application>Doxygen</application>.</para>

  24 <para>The slave implements the <command>cgi:</command> protocol. It
  25 uses the filename from the given &URL; and searches a configurable
  26 list of folders. If it finds an executable with the given name it
  27 executes it, passes the arguments of the &URL; and sets the
  28 environment variables needed by <acronym>CGI</acronym>
  29 programs.</para>
