Pathway CGI Server
For further information, see the iTP Active Transaction Pages (iTP ATP) Programmer’s
Guide.
Pathway CGI Server
The Pathway CGI extensions are a set of utility procedures that let you develop CGI
applications as NonStop TS/MP server classes or integrate existing NonStop TS/MP
applications into the iTP Secure WebServer environment.
Generic Common Gateway Interface (CGI) Server
CGI is a standard for applications that interface with Web servers. CGI applications
can be written in a variety of computer languages (or scripts) including C, Korn Shell,
and others. The iTP Secure WebServer provides a generic CGI interface that fully
conforms to the NCSA CGI/1.1 standard. For more information, see Section 8, Using
Common Gateway Interface (CGI) Programs.
Servlet Server Class (SSC)
The Servlet Server Class (SSC), also known as the Web Container, enables you to
write CGI applications as Java servlets. The servlets execute in SSC processes, which
are scalable and persistent because they run under NonStop TS/MP.
Resource Locator Service (RLS)
RLS allows the implementation of replicated Web servers, to be used interchangeably
and transparently for access to the same content and services. The Web servers run
on the same or different platforms; RLS chooses the best-performing server to satisfy
each request.
iTP Secure WebServer Admin httpd
The admin httpd process provides the interface between your Web client and the iTP
Secure WebServer Administration Server. It is the same program as the iTP Secure
WebServer httpd but runs in the iTP Secure WebServer Administration PATHMON
environment.
Administration Server
The Administration Server enables you to establish and modify configurations, and
control and monitor one or more iTP Secure WebServer environments, from a Web
client.
Note. The iTP Secure WebServer does not support Microsoft Active Server Pages or ADO.
