I'm jumping in a little late in the game, but there must be a dozen
different tiny protocols to bind JavaScript to CGI. Ironically, for every
other feasible language combination there are exactly two; namely XML-RPC
and SOAP.
XML-RPC should be light enough, and there are several JavaScript libraries
already out in the wild. And of course, you then basically get Perl, PHP,
Python, Ruby, Java, ASP, C, C++, C# et al on the server-side for free,
because XML-RPC is a widely implemented standard.
Here is a list of XML-RPC implementations:
http://www.xmlrpc.com/directory/1568/implementations
There are at least 2 extant JavaScript implementations listed.
