Isn't the name of your script /cgi-bin/BLAH, and its query string /blah_dir/blah.XXX ? In such case, why not simply register the BLAH script as a CgiResource (m,anually), and keep the XXX extension for your server side include machanism (I realize that I am defintely missing something). Could you provide more infos on your stuff ? What I understand is the following: you have a script BLAH that given (as a request string) the URL of some other resource, will expand some of the tags in it. If this is correct, then there ought to be a way to do so with Jigsaw... Anselm.
