an author might move their individual pages to a new domain; two web sites might merge. With URL redirects, incoming links to an outdated URL can be sent to the correct location.

An early use of CGI scripts was to process forms. In the beginning of HTML, HTML forms typically had an "action" attribute and a button designated as the "submit" button. When the submit button is pushed the URI specified in the "action" attribute would be sent to the server with the data from the form sent as a query string.
