General CGI URL syntax and parameters
CGI parameters are written in lower-case and as one word without any underscores or other
separators. When the CGI request includes internal camera parameters, the internal parameters must
be written exactly as they are named in the camera or video server. The CGIs are organized in
function related directories under the cgi-bin directory. The file extension of the CGI is required.
Syntax:
http://<servername>/cgi-bin/<subdir>[/<subdir>...]/<cgi>.<ext>
[?<parameter>=<value>[&<parameter>=<value>...]]
Example: Setting digital output #1 to active
