Lets write a lil tool,
so we don't need to use #telnet anymore

And now we can use (the previously enabled lighttpd listing extended by an html wrapper and make cgi-bin execute *sh.
Without any command line. In the #webbrowser .
❤️ Lovely
Whats that ?
If you copy in a sh onto your router externalSD ?
..
Sure. added a FixPermission button just for that. :abloblamp:
I like #CgiBin . Is nice
(I kinda god bamboozled by FileExplorer putting a lock on the files and them not being written by the sh. Seems like WinSCP handles that better. Darn you #Windows #Fileexplorer )

傳統的 cgi-bin 遇到現代的硬體

Ah, the good ol' days of CGI-bin—when every request was a delightful exercise in killing your server performance one CGI script at a time! 😆 Who needs modern efficiency when you can relive the 90s tech #nostalgia by pretending 200 million requests is a walk in the Jurassic Park? 🦖🌐

So, you're saying CGI-bin isn't just for retro-website hipsters still living in 1999? 🙃 Who knew that Perl scripts could handle more traffic than a Black Friday sale at a free coffee shop? ☕️📈 Oh, and remember to spawn a new process for every request—because who doesn't love a server on the brink of a nervous breakdown? 😂🔧

yeah. it's pretty dumb. haha.
but. it is open source and all that good stuff.
wonder why Perl didn't just keep going.i gues server admins wanted to get away from that who cgi-bin ...
i forget even how that worked! -
Friends, I am a total noob developer to CGI and Perl!
So I decided to finally try it.
It is so good and fun! I can totally understand the hype people had when then I was playing in the sandbox, literally in a sandbox.
This is my first CGI server app, screenshot is just amazing. Definitely adding this to my toy Github projects.
