Write to stdout (not stdin).
SilkJS, v8cgi, may be more appropriate for your needs if you're in an

The basics of CGI are:
* Web server calls an executable
* Print headers (including required content type)
* Print two (or more) new lines ("\n")
* Print content (should match "Content-type: " header)
* Returns to web server without causing an exception, crashing, or
returning an error code
