To be pedantic, and we wouldn't want to miss a chance for that,
ASP is a different platfrom from CGI (Common Gateway Interface).

They do have similar purposes:: generating dynamic pages...
that allows resources to be generated through a number of
programming languages, including Microsoft JScript, which is
on-topic here, being a JavaScript-related ECMAScript implementation.
ASP is a later generation of server-side framework than CGI.
CGI is pretty much the bare bone "when receiving this request,
call this program to get the response". CGI programs runs as
stand-alone programsthat generate raw HTTP the.
The ASP framework is more supporting and container like, and can, e.g,
support a session independenly of the scripting language. A CGI
program must maintain its own state independenly of the web server.
