I wasn't clear ... what is ignored is the fact that it is a query URL
... that is ... it has a ? part. The servers which behave this way
parse off the query part and use their normal alias 'dispatching'
rules to do something with the 'root' part of the URL. When it 
isn't a CGI program, that seems to meen simply serve the page.

At least that is the behavior I have observed.
