[gopher] Session support for CGI scripts

[Kim Holviala]

I was trying to find out what other CGI servers would use for session id but couldn’t find any existing examples. So, what’s the consensus of this list: if CGI app has session id in it’s environment variables, what variable name would be best?

Contestants so far:

- $SESSION_ID
- $SID
