Here's an example: http://www.domain.com/page.dna?command=showcart Contexts replaced commands for most WebDNA users many years ago because contexts are far more secure. But if your site still uses commands they will not work in the FastCGI version, so you'd have to (1) rewrite that part of your code to use contexts instead of commands, or (2) use the Server version instead of the FastCGI version. If I were you I would be far more concerned about the fact that you're running an online store using legacy WebDNA eCommerce code -- which will NOT work in the FastCGI version. I tried switching another client's eCommerce site to the FastCGI version a long time ago and it failed because the FastCGI version cannot interpret WebDNA eCommerce tags/contexts. So instead I went with the latest Server version and had no upgrade problems whatsoever. You're already using what is essentially an old Server version, so if I were you I would just forget about the FastCGI version and use the latest Server version. Then you're more or less guaranteeing that the site will still work properly without creating any more problems for yourself.
