- 2. What are FrontPage server extensions?
- Top
- FrontPage extensions are CGI programs that provide
the server side implementation of FrontPage. FrontPage communicates
with the extensions via HTTP using a Remote Procedure Call (RPC).
When the server sees the "POST" request addressed to the FrontPage
server extensions it simply directs the request to the appropriate
CGI program. The extensions implement authoring (uploading/downloading
documents, To Do lists), administration (setting end-user, author,
and administrator privileges), and dynamic content (browse-time
WebBot components). Without the FrontPage server extensions you
will not be able to take advantage of the WebBots that are available
through FrontPage. You also cannot author and administer your
site using the tools provided as part of the FrontPage Editor/Explorer
package.

- WebBots are the mechanism for invoking many of
the interactive features built into FrontPage. These features
are added to your site through the FrontPage Editor. These Bots
work behind the scenes to keep your site up-to-date for visitors.
