[Bug 64466] New: wrong http://www.boutell.com/cgic/ link in https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/howto/cgi.html
https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=64466

Bug ID: 64466
Summary: wrong http://www.boutell.com/cgic/ link in
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/howto/cgi.html
Product: Apache httpd-2
Version: 2.4-HEAD
Hardware: PC
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Documentation
Assignee: docs@httpd.apache.org
Reporter: prohlep@math.bme.hu
Target Milestone: ---

https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/howto/cgi.html

contains a bad link

in section "CGI modules/libraries" (this is close to the end of this page)

concerning "If you're writing CGI programs in C, there are a variety of
options. One of these is the CGIC library, from".

The bad link is "http://www.boutell.com/cgic/",

ending up at "https://www.boutell.co.uk/bad-credit-loans/",

what seems to be a business site, having no thematic connection with CGI.

I suggest the thematically proper link: http://web.mit.edu/wwwdev/www/cgic.html

which seems to be the proper home of "cgic: an ANSI C library for CGI
Programming
By Thomas Boutell".
