In the WebSTAR cgi-bin, as installed, we find AppleEventExample.acgi. 
Pointing a form at it does nothing.  Trying to open it in Script 
Editor does nothing (perhaps saved as run-only, a lovely way to 
supply an example).

Anybody know what this thing is?

What I really want is the syntax for an Applescript CGI with WebSTAR 
5 on OS X.  Does it still use "on handle CGI request searching for 
path args..." etc.? or is there some new syntax for stdin or some 
such?

When I use one of my old OS 9 CGIs, it runs and appears in the 
toolbar, but doesn't do anything. Googling the topic produces tons of 
information on using Applescript CGIs with Machttp.  Plus a lot of 
stuff in German and Japanese.
