Kamran Mahmood <ba******@hotmail.com> scribbled the following: Dear Fellows!
Can anyone send me a small script which can let me know about any web
site that is using cgi script in any of its pages.
For example if I open http://geocities.com, the script automatically
check its all other link pages and find out at which link cgi is
running and inform me about it.
What does this have to do with C?

And besides, what you want to do is impossible, barring the case where
you have local access to the server computer itself.
Accessing web pages is done with the HTTP protocol, and the HTTP
protocol specifies no way whatsoever to know where the HTML code in
the web page is coming from: a static file, a CGI script, a servlet,
drunken monkeys typing fervently on typewriters, or God himself.
You might as well ask for something to read a book and tell you
what colour the author's typewriter was, and whether the author was
typing it in the morning or in the evening.
