2. Style Convention
In URL syntax and in descriptions of CGI parameters, a text within angle brackets denotes a content
that is to be replaced with either a value or a string. When replacing the text string, the angle
brackets shall also be replaced. An example of this is the description of the name for the server,
denoted with <servername> in the URL syntax description below, which is replaced with the string
myserver in the URL syntax example, also below.
URL syntax is written with the word “
Syntax: " written in bold face followed by a box with the
reference syntax as seen below. The name of the server is written as <servername>. This is intended
to be replaced with the name of the actual server. This can either be a name, e.g., "mywebcam" or
"thecam.adomain.net" or the associated IP number for the server, e.g., 192.168.0.220.
Special notes will be marked in
RED .
Syntax:
http://

Return: " in bold face followed by the returned data
shown in a box. All data is returned as HTTP formatted, i.e., starting with the string HTTP and line
separated with a Carriage Return and Line Feed (CRLF) printed as \r\n.
Return:
HTTP/1.0 <HTTP code><HTTP text>\r\n
URL syntax examples are written with "
Example: " in bold face followed by a short description and a
light grey box with the example.

3. 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, these parameters must be
written exactly as they are named in the camera or video server. The CGIs are organized in
functionally-related directories under the cgi-bin directory. The file extension .cgi is required.
Syntax:
http://<
servername >/cgi-bin/< subdir >[/< subdir >...]/< cgi >.< ext >
[?<parameter>=<value>[&<parameter>=<value>...]]
Example: Set digital output #1 to active
http://mywebserver/cgi-bin/dido/setdo.cgi?do1=1
