That is how beta 1 works. Beta 2 alleviates this by reading only the mime
header and, if not VRML, it sends the URL to Netscape. This means we
don't load the data twice. This is still a problem with cgi-bin as you
mention. Unfortunately there is little we can do. It's the other end of
the "VRML browser doesn't get the original URL" problem being bantered
about recently. If we send Netscape a /tmp file without the original URL
it cannot do relative links. We really need the various HTML browsers to
accept a -url <url string> option just like Netscape sends us one now.
