General CGI URL Syntax and Parameters

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:
