CGI mode

Unlike previous versions that were either CGI program or hypertext pre-processor, from WhizBase 5 it can be used both ways.

To use WhizBase in CGI mode you still need valid WBSP file, but instead of calling WBSP file directly (e.g. http://someserver/somefile.wbsp) you should insert in your URL engine file followed by full wbsp file path relative to the web server's root directory (e.g. http://someserver/cgi-bin/wbsp.exe/somefile.wbsp).

Due to security reasons we have disabled direct execution of the engine file
(e.g. http://someserver/cgi-bin/wbsp.exe?wb_basename=somebase.mdb&wb_rcdset=sometable&wb_command=q will not work).
