Parsing the CGI Messages

  • Parsing the CGI messages of the Port Authority site was not easy.
  • The messages contained a lot of data that did not seem to make any sense.
  • While watching the CGI messages and server responses, there was a mixture of GETs and POSTs, server redirections, and other problems.
  • Once the messages were observed, experimentation had to be conducted by sending test messages to their server to see how it would respond.
