     Look at the documentation.  All the data is put in environment variables of the form WWW_{name}.  As I said, my personal experience with it on Windows NT (I've also used it elsewhere) was very positive.  Throw the makefile at gcc and stand back, then install.  There was a glitch, but that was due to a slight HTTPS difference from http.  I accessed everything using Ada wrappers around getenv and setenv.  The wrappers were there to convert from null terminated strings to Ada Strings, and the "cgi-bin" programs compiled and executed correctly both on Solaris machines and on NT.
