General CGI URL syntax and parameters

CGI parameters are written in lower-case and as one word without any underscores or
other separators. When the CGI request includes internal camera parameters, the
internal parameters must be written exactly as they are named in the camera or video
server. The CGIs are organized in function related directories under the cgi-bin
directory. The file extension of the CGI is required.
Syntax:
http://<servername>/cgi-bin/<subdir>[/<subdir>...]/<cgi>.<ext>
[?<parameter>=<value>[&<parameter>=<value>...]]
