If this is how apache, and other web servers work, I have no problem
with making sh-httpd follow suit.  I think, however, that the behavior
you describe is not part of the normal CGI interface, so any scripts
depending on the above functionality will only work on sh-httpd, and
would not work on something like thttpd, apache, boa, &c...

NOTE:  Parsing of the QUERY_STRING for form data can be easily done by a
few shell routines in a cgi.include file (or similar)...it doesn't have
to be done by the web-server for convinence.

Should we maybe troll the leaf-user list for someone with extensive
web/cgi design experience?  I don't have anything that indicates form
data should be pre-processed by the web-server and provided as command
line arguments, but I'm a cgi neophyte.
