granted, i did a poor job explaining my situation. sorry about that. your
point about using content, though, was correct -- at least according to
the docs. i had missed that point, even though it is clearly stated in
the eagle book and the Apache man page. interestingly enough, that is not
my problem. all the hacks i've been doing are just to read the query
string on GET's. i don't like my solution, but i'll be releasing these
packages soon under an open-source agreement, so maybe more eyes on the
problem will help produce a better/correct solution.
