Perhaps.  ".cgi" doesn't mean anything, unless you also know
about the configuration of the server.  I could make all ".cgi"
files spit back static text/html, for example. :)

No, you can't.  Unless the CGI script itself supports Range: (which
I'd bet 99% don't), you'll get the full content, always.
