actually, i don't think this is the case. the configuration is all on the server. the
script itself never gets downloaded to the client - the line in kevin's script that

reads:

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

tells the browser that the mime-type for the incoming file is HTML... the server just
needs to know that this is a script and should be executed...
