General CGI URL syntax and parameters

CGI parameters are written in lower-case and as one word without any underscores or other separators. When the CGI request includes internal server parameters, the internal parameters must be written exactly as they are named in the server or video server. The CGIs are organized in function related directories under the cgi-bin directory. The file extension of the CGI is required.

Syntax:

http://<servername>/cgi-bin/<subdir>[/<subdir>...]/<cgi>.<ext> [?<parameter>=<value>[&<parameter>=<value>...]]

Note: This request require administrator access

Method: GET/POST

Syntax:

http://<servername>/cgi-bin/admin/getparam.cgi?[<parameter>] [&<parameter>…]

where the <parameter> should be <group>[_<name>] or <group>[.<name>] If you do not specify the any parameters, all the parameters on the server will be returned. If you specify only <group>, the parameters of related group will be returned.
