[fpc-pascal] CGI under Linux using FCL-Web

[Leonardo M. Ramé]

Another tip for linux/unix. Try to run the CGI program from the command line, it should output something similar to this:

Exception at 0000000000497B3A: Exception:
No REQUEST_METHOD passed from server.

Otherwise there's an error in your code.
