Question

http://www.google.se/search?Key1=Value1&Key2=Value2

Can i get some technical idea about this link??

I am aware of these.
The first “http://” describes the server using,
“www.google.se” is the server name.

My questions include:
is “search” an CGI script in servers root folder? If so why it doesn’t have a .cgi extension?
If n’t What is it exactly, and can i get any sample script of search(if it is an script).

Answer 1

A web server can respond to any URL in any way it pleases, without necessarily having a CGI script at a particular location in a filesystem.

It’s possible to write a web server with the following hypothetical method:

def GET(host, path, query):
    if path == "/hello":
        print "Hello, world"
    elif path == "/search":
        perform_search(query)

There is no requirement for a CGI script to exist anywhere.
