ContentProviderAPI is a service interface which can be provided to the ContentRegistrar interface. It is used to allow KPs to provide Web content through a properly configured Web server.
This interface defines the following object types:
'frob'
, and a request arrives
for http://www.foo.org/cgi-bin/koe/frob/nitz, the
url parameter takes the value
'/frob/nitz'
. env represents the
environment of the CGI script that implements the bridge, with
some variables removed to protect the security of the server
(and which are non-sensical if the Web server and the KOS are
running on different hosts, which is entirely possible).
fp is a read/write file interface. It allows the
implementation of the GetContent() method to read form
data and write the results of the request back to the server.
Data passed in and out should match the forms expected from
CGI programs.
