I don't have cgi-bins at all. All files with .cgi extension can be executed as
scripts.

So, with simple.cgi catalog (http://sil.sandwich.net/simple.cgi), located in
/home/sil/webdocs/simple.cgi, I would have to copy simple.cgi to
/home/sil/securedocs/ , right? Would that work right, I mean, let's say a
person goes to insecure simple.cgi, then clicks on link to secure page, which
points to a different copy of simple.cgi, would all cart information be passed
on? It should, since it's stored in a cookie, but I'm a bit worried about just
making a copy of .cgi file. Is this a common practice or is this server I'm
using set up weirdly?
