        The default is to cache them if they are cacheable,
        which most times they are not, but the comments
        recommend:

        # There is no default. We recommend you uncomment the
following
        # two lines.
        #quid.conf.default line 273/1892 16%
        #acl QUERY urlpath_regex cgi-bin \?%

        The returned page was cacheable, but you didn't read
        the comments.

        This is only likely to be a problem if the CGI script
        returns a temporary redirect, but the server actually
        resolves that redirect into the actual page. CGI pages
        that are cacheable but not redirects are almost certainly
        supposed to be; in any case, any GET type access is
        potentially cacheable, although the HTTP drafts now make
        an exception because of past abuses.
