What is the default cgi-bin contents?

I have an issue with a client, where it is possible that someone has been tampering with their version of Cisco Device Manager. It looks like there are some additional undocumented .jnlp files in the cgi-bin.

Does anyone know what the default cgi-bin should contain?

Any help would be much appreciated.

I think it contains CGI script code. Common Gateway Interface, a specification for transferring information between a World Wide Web server and a CGI program. A CGI program is any program designed to accept and return data that conforms to the CGI specification.

If you have CGI capability is if you have a sub-directory (folder) in your root Web directory called cgi-bin. In CGI the script code is located in cgi-bin.
