Abstract

The information to be published on the Web can be stored directly as fixed HTML documents or be formed depending on user's request. In both cases Web docu-ments can be created on the basis of the information from databases. The interaction between a Web browser and DBMS takes place within the framework of a three-level client/server architecture including a Web-server and a server extension as a middle-ware. The intermediate level provides analysis of client requests, access to databases, representation of the selected information as a HTML document and its delivery to the browser. All this is carried out by means of a close interaction between the Web-server and the server extension, which is defined by certain specifications. This paper contains a brief comparative review of the most well-known specifications CGI and ISAPI and examine the main issues and peculiarities on the example of a complex site creation project for an editing company in which author took direct part.
