Writing a shell script that uses fastcgi[key here is fastcgi is leveraged to implement cgi functions] then one has better control and understanding of the gears that make the web work. The analog is asm to c++ where bash fastcgi scripts is asm and node/php is c++. | |

Awk has one, this is how SDF does their site, and biggest reason of all this is also for a wargame challenge which has only busybox, fcgi, and ssh on the server. So I wish to eliminate all points of entries other than the ones that contestants are meant to find. | |
