in reply to How do I force a certain filename in the browser?

Thanks everyone. I got it by using the path info method. However out of curiosity, I'm passing parameters after the url so it looks something like this

http://mysite.com/cgi-bin/script.cgi/file.doc?param1=value

This works with my setup (apache) but how standard is it? Would it break in some configurations?

    With regards to the query string, this is entirely portable. The only thing that may possibly differ on various configurations is how they determine at what part of the request the script URI ends and the $PATH_INFO starts.
