Documentation on how to use the eCos web server can be found in eCos reference manual. This is installed along with the rest of eCos. Alternatively, you can find a copy here (http://ecos.sourceware.org/docs-latest/ref/net-httpd-chapter.html).

The section "Server Organisation" explains how to associate a function with a filename within the server. Subsequent sections explain how you can generate HTML content. This is not strictly CGI, but it achieves the same thing.
