This paper describes CSA (CGI Shell Architecture),
and how to write programs based on it. CSA is a small application
development environment for the World Wide Web, based
on the classical "UNIX
toolkit" approach,
aimed at the rapid prototyping of Web-based application services.
CSA tries to make "scripting-up" Web applications as quick and handy as
writing the usual shell scripts for the command-line. And, most important,
it tries to bring to the Web the same shell+utilities paradigm which is
at the very hart of the UNIX programming style.
This document is a work in progress, and a lot remains
to be done to make it a real reference manual.
At the moment, the only detailed documentation available
is a few example programs and the extensive comments contained in the
various CSA library source files.
