You can run your own CGI scripts on www.scm.uws.edu.au thanks to CGIWrap.
http://student.scm.uws.edu.au/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/login/scriptname

eg.
URL: http://student.scm.uws.edu.au/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/joe/myscript
CGI: ~joe/Homepage/cgi-bin/myscript
  • Place scripts in the directory ~/Homepage/cgi-bin/
  • Scripts can be any Unix executable, Perl, shell, C, etc. Make sure the file is owned and executable by you.
  • Scripts are run under your UID! Be very careful when working with CGI.
  • CGIWrap Homepage.
  • CGIWrap usage logs are kept.
  • CGIWrap runs on the School's Student Unix server Han - so make sure your programs work when run on this machine!
