What is the purpose of the script?  what is a "bandwidth" protector?


<div>
A bandwidth protector is a script which stops people linking to your images or graphics. So, your server can view the image, but if someone else strys to use your graphic from your server on his own server, it won't work.<br />
It stops people from stealing your bandwidth<br />

Oh, I forgot to mention how you'd use the script in my answer:<br />
<br />
In your HTML you would then reference your images as<br />
<br />
&lt;IMG SRC=&quot;/cgi-bin/cgiscriptnam<wbr />e.pl?image<wbr />_file.gif&quot;<wbr />&gt;<br />
<br />
Which would call the CGI above, passing the filename of the GIF you want to display.<br />

Question

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.
