This can be used to blink an LED on an RPi if you put https://gist.github.com/RichardBronosky/b037de3e8763887b034298057200bd02 in your /tmp/cgi-bin folder and https://gist.github.com/RichardBronosky/7f5832b2e0bac20db386bef4a7962a99 in /home/pi/ (or edit the path of DAEMON= on line 8 of the daemon example)

The LED pins are defined in DAEMON_ARGS= on line 9 of the daemon example. The meaning of that argument is explained in the pi_gpio_hack example
