nope, that won't work because it won't allow cgi
scripts to be anything other than .pl or .cgi.  And
I'd rather have the whole process handled by one or
two scripts total.

I have already ran many queries on google, but maybe
you'll have better luck than I did.  Sometime tomorrow
I'm going to get sniffit set up on my gateway machine
and see how xdrive.com sets the headers when you
