Greetings anonymous,

Several Web browsers are setup to expect that all JavaScript files included via the <SCRIPT SRC=""> tag have the ".js" extention. I ran into this problem about a year ago when I was trying to do something fairly similar. I just changed my file extention of the CGI from ".cgi" to ".js", and things worked perfectly. Of course, you may have to mess around with an .htaccess file somewhere to get the desired result.

Dealing with the GET CGI parameters is a little tricky. You could try putting them into the URL. For example, try:

<SCRIPT
  SRC="./cgi-bin/jserver.cgi/script=somescript/script.js"
  TYPE="text/javascript"></SCRIPT>
[download]

In this case, there's an enviornment variable created (usually) called "PATH_INFO". It'll be equal to "/script=somescript/file.js" in this case. So now just regex the "somescript" out of that and you're done.
