    Hello,

    I've set the local cgi directory to /home/joze/cgi-bin
    but apparently this does not work if I enter `U' and
        file:///home/joze/cgi-bin/info2www
    for example. I had a quick look at the source code and
    it seems, that local cgi does only work if there are
    `action' attributes within forms. I think it would be a
    benefit to allow file names like the one above. Actually
    w3m should split this in a script part an a query string
    part like
        file:///home/joze/cgi-bin/info2www?myvar=fred
        --> script = file:///home/joze/cgi-bin/info2www
        --> query_string = myvar=fred

    People who know about the configuration of web-servers
    (like me) think this `local-cgi' works somehow like
    specifying a ScriptAlias (apache).

    so: what do you think about that ?
