win shell CGI - debugging technique

lazna

Using win shell as a CGI, time-by-time need to start shell script from cmd line due to debugging. Need to distinguish if script is started by WEB server CGI engine or not. Have idea to check if variable %REMOTE_ADDR% is empty or not. Is it reliable solution? Are there any better ways?

lazna,
Checking for env variable GATEWAY_INTERFACE to be set to CGI/1.1 is the way to go. Actually that's how PHP and many CGI/CLI tools do to distinguish the requested mode of operation.
