To participate as a Publius server, one only needs to
install a CGI script that we provide.
All client software communicates with the server
by executing an HTTP POST operation on the server's CGI URL.
The requested operation (retrieve, update, publish or delete),
the file name, the password
and any other required information is passed to the server in
the body of the POST request.
We recommend limiting the amount of disk space that can
be used each time the CGI script executes.
Our CGI script is freely available (see Section 7).
