CGI spec makes me start feeling old...

After yesterday's entry on old tech, I suddenly for no reason today searched for "cgi specification" to see if the original page was still there. It is: The Common Gateway Interface

It's been unchanged for more than 9 years now, according to the Last-Modified header, and I remember seeing it first time back in '94 or '95...

At a time when the average lifespan of webpages is on the order of days, it's fun to see that some vestiges of the early days of the net are still there...

Of course, we have the Wayback machine for a lot of stuff, but it's not quite the same :)
