CGI
Quite simply, CGI stands for Common Gateway Interface. That’s a fancy term for something we all know as Application Programming Interface. So, CGI is the API for the web server.
The web server, of course, is the software that sends web pages to web browsers. Technically, web browsers should be called web clients, and people who use them should be called web browsers. But no need to get technical here.
