Your domain includes secure server access, allowing you to collect customer information in a secure fashion. Since you might also want to run a cgi program in secure mode, we make available Cgiwrap - a system that allows safe, secure use of cgi programs. We have created a short cut for this as well.

When you want to use a cgi script or program in secure mode, you must change the URL to follow this format:
https://machine.safe-order.net/cgi-yourdomain/script.cgi

You can call cgiwrap explicitly with this call, which does the same thing as the above call:
https://machine.safe-order.net/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/yourdomain/script.cgi

machine - that is the machine name that is hosting your domain.
yourdomain - replace with your username.
script.cgi - replace with the name of the cgi script located in your cgi-bin directory.

You can also use cgiwrapd in place of cgiwrap to get extra debugging information if there is a problem. For nph-style scripts, use nph-cgiwrap or nph-cgiwrapd instead.
