No, not unless you modify the Server code to allow non-LabVIEW languages. LabVIEW and the G Web Server cannot pass the query string from a client’s browser to any CGI routine other than those written in G. Also, the G Web Server cannot access the result of the non-LabVIEW script and pass this result back to the client. You encounter similar limitations when you use the System Exec VI in LabVIEW.
