[SOLVED] How can my CGI C++ Server-api on Apache receive data from an HttpServer and reply?

I want my CGI C++ Server api (on Apache) to be able to receive data (strings) from an HttpServer (a website) and also reply back data (string Array) to the HttpServer.

Im on Kubuntu 10 and installed Aphache.

I actually have set up a C++ DBMS api which takes SQL strings parses&executes them and replies back the char array. So I want to 'Internetize' it.

For HTTP GET requests, your CGI application will get it's data from the commandline. HTTP POST reqests will pass data through standard input.
If the CGI URL is specified as the handler for an HTML form entity, then the HTML form 'action' attribute specifies the CGI handler.
