That should work if the URL ends in .pl, but for Andy's example

	http://server.domain/cgi-bin/program.pl?foo=bar&bar=foo

I'm not sure if it will.  He might have to make a hack to the extension-test section in filetype.c, the simplest would be to just comment out the test, like so

diff -r1.6.2.1 filetype.c
149,151c149,151
<               for (i=0; i<NUM_EXTRACT_INFO_SUFFIX; i++) {
<                       if (!strcasecmp(&tempname[name_len - strlen(extract_info_suffix[i])], extract_info_suffix[i])) break;
<               }
---

This would just force glimpseindex to treat all files as HTML regardless of extension.

If we do look at a hack to webglimpse instead, I think the easiest would be to manipulate the temporary filenames.  Since a script has to be retrieved anyway, makenh could just store it in a file named N.html instead of N.program.pl?foo=bar&bar=foo as it currently does.
