I should add to that, "server side programming in general, using HTTP, without the use of a remoting framework or other abstraction of HTTP". In other words, they mean sending HTTP variables to the server directly. AMFPHP, for example, is more advanced than this and thus doesn't really qualify as "CGI" (even if the remoting implementation uses the CGI protocol on some level), since it abstracts the programmer from the details of HTTP. Opening a network socket directly might not make use of HTTP at all, so that doesn't really qualify as "CGI" either. e
