I'm trying to get an shtml page to include another shtml page that calls
a cgi.
Like this:

/dir1/a/index.shtml: contains this line: <!--#include
virtual="/dir1/index.shtml" -->
/dir1/index.shtml: contains the line: <!--#include
virtual="/cgi-bin/blah.cgi" -->

Now if I pass a query string to /dir1/index.shtml like
/dir1/index.shtml?name=bob it gets passed to the cgi thats called in the
page. But the trouble coems if I try to pass the query string from the
outter shtml (/dir1/a/index.shtml) like /dir1/index.shtml?name=john.

This works ok on my Redhad 7.3's "Apache/1.3.23".

But it does not want to work on our company's "Rapidsite/Apa/1.3.26".
Any paramter passed to /dir1/a/index.shtml never makes it to the cgi
script. Can this be resolved with a .htacccess file or something? I
don't have access to the conf files on the company server (I may talk to
the admins once I know what it is that needs to be changed to get this
to work, that is, shtml paramter cascading).

Thanks greatly!
