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 camera parameters, the internal
parameters must be written exactly as they are named in the camera 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>...]]
Example: Setting digital output #1 to active
http://mywebserver/cgi-bin/dido/setdo.cgi?do1=1
