Any CGI program with a name that begins with nph_ is considered a no-parse header CGI program. This means that the server does no conversions on the data and adds no headers back in the response from the CGI program. The CGI programmer is in total control and is responsible for parsing the request and then sending all of the necessary headers back with the response.
