Did you know that PageGate can post updates to a website
via CGI commands?
The current version of PageGate can use the GET and
POST methods of passing CGI variables to a web server,
allowing you to pass updates to a website as part of
your outbound messaging.
To configure IIS to host GetWeb's CGI executable:
Note: On server 2008 and 2012 the CGI-exe handler might
not exist because the CGI role may not be enabled for
the server (IIS) - go to "Server Manager" -> "Roles"
-> "Add Role Services" - under "Web Server" -> "Application
Development" make sure CGI is checked

2) Select the Server object on the left hand
