2. Style Convention
In URL syntax and in descriptions of CGI parameters, a text within angle brackets denotes a content
that is to be replaced with either a value or a string. When replacing the text string, the angle
brackets shall also be replaced. An example of this is the description of the name for the server,
denoted with <servername> in the URL syntax description below, which is replaced with the string
myserver in the URL syntax example, also below.
URL syntax is written with the word "Syntax:" written in bold face followed by a box with the
reference syntax as seen below. The name of the server is written as <servername>. This is intended
to be replaced with the name of the actual server. This can either be a name, e.g., "mywebcam" or
"thecam.adomain.net" or the associated IP number for the server, e.g., 192.168.0.220.
Special notes will be marked in RED.
Syntax:
http://<servername>/cgi-bin/viewer/video.jpg
Description of returned data is written with "Return:" in bold face followed by the returned data
shown in a box. All data is returned as HTTP formatted, i.e., starting with the string HTTP and line
separated with a Carriage Return and Line Feed (CRLF) printed as \r\n.
Return:
HTTP/1.0 <HTTP code><HTTP text>\r\n
URL syntax examples are written with "Example:" in bold face followed by a short description and a
light grey box with the example.
Example: Request a single snapshot image
http://mywebserver/cgi-bin/viewer/video.jpg
