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

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