Great example. Gunna play with this one meself.
Obligatory warning phrased anew.
"Listen traveller, there be a demon lurking near. If ye, place this script
upon an open server, you will let lose the beast upon your system! Your
defense, if this occurs, be to sift the intruders with the special name of
Parse. Only then will you sleep again at night!"

I'm not sure what you mean by "the binary", however if you mean the rebol
binary, try the attached script.
It's not quite what you asked for, but you might get some ideas.
BTW.
The script was tested on Apache 1.3.12 (Amiga) and IE (Win98), please let me
know if it works. You probably want to change the first line of the script
to match your REBOL location and name...
Best regards
