index.cgi?<whatever> could return anything, an image, text, html.  If it
returns html it is not cgi any more, it's html.  (same as .asp, .jsp, etc)
Further more index.cgi?page=whatever isn't a legal file name on many systems. 
The mirror can not be the same as the site, your not running a server, your
downloading files.
