Isn't wasn't the pulling of the variables from the URL that was at issue, it was to hide the fact it was a cgi-bin (as per swiftone's comment ... sorta).

Now, since I have .cgi mapped to scripts, I could do this:

http://myserver.com/super.cgi/good=382/bad=10

just fine and it works as expected. What I would like to do is remove the .cgi extension from the name BUT not have to put the script into a cgi-bin only directory. Ie:

http://myserver.com/bins/super/good=382/bad=10

Though now that I think about it .. that wouldn't be TOO bad. And in fact will be my choice if I can't get it to work otherwise.

The tactic I was using before was trying to 

<Location /super>
 SetHandler SuperScript
</Location>
Action SuperScript /bin/myscript.cgi

[download]
That didn't work :( Mostly because I have no clue about the Action directive and even less on how Apache handles SetHandler.

Thanx!
