Question about CGI scripting in C++
Hello,
I am trying to write some CGI script in C++. There are some include files that the program looks for when trying to compile,to provide the functions for the input and output from the HTML forms and text boxes, etc. Where can I download (preferably for free) a complete enough set of these files to do basic input/output from users keyboard? Also, how do I compile a cgi file from dos/windows environment to have it work on cloudlinux server?

CGI is server based programming, meaning the processing occurs on the other side of the internet connection from the user. The user sends a POST message, and whatever the program prints to stdout becomes the response. Hopefully it is a properly formatted HTML document. There is no interaction other than that.
There is no user input/output beyond that. The CGI program cannot read the user's keyboard or anything like that. So, I'm not exactly sure what you are looking for.
