[Lazarus] debugging a CGI

[duilio foschi]

I guess I will use conditional compilation.

{$IFDEF WINDOWS} // this means I am debugging the CGI on my PC
  //read from file xxx.json
{$else} // this means the CGI is in production on my linux server
  // read from stdin
{$endif}

Thank you for your help
