It should (and according to his last message apparently does) if he
has configured makenh to fetch URLs via the http protocol and treat
them as remote. In fact, he has to, because if makenh were to treat
these URLs as local, it would just attempt to index program.pl,
instead of the real output. At least that is what I think happens from
reading the source. In the remote case, makenh fetches the URL and
cuts off the part after the "?", so the extension check should be
fine.

I think, it actually is N.pl. It would certainly explain why Andy's
fix worked. I had something like that in mind when I mentioned hacking
webglimpse. I had not realized that it would be so easy, though. :)

Of course, the best course of action would be to have glimpse read the
extensions from a configuration file.
