Accessing CGI scripts as directories

Is there a way to fool the browser to make a CGI script act like a directory? For example:

http://myserver.com/cgi-bin/my_cgi_script/somefile

my_cgi_script = the CGI script
somefile = the requested file

I want to use this for protection, so that my_cgi_script checks if the remote user is allowed to open somefile. If i could fool the webbrowser to make it look like a folder then it would be much easier. (How) Can this be done?

Thanks in advance,

Why would you need to "fool" the web browser? It doesn't know what it's requesting. /blah.cgi?/directory/file.html is no different to the browser than /blah/directory or http://www.blah.com

All the browser does is send what is requested to the server and print out what the server sends back. It could care less what's a directory and what's not.

This is what i mean.

------- HTML Code -------

<A HREF="bar.html">
<IMG SRC="foo.gif" ALT="bar" WIDTH="100" HEIGHT="100" BORDER="0">
</A>

------- End HTML -------

if this was the ouput of
http://foo.bar/cgi-bin/foo.cgi

the webbrowser would try to retrieve
http://foo.bar/cgi-bin/foo.gif

now, if i could access it like this
http://foo.bar/cgi-bin/foo.cgi/index.html
the browser would try to retrieve
http://foo.bar/cgi-bin/foo.cgi/foo.gif
the script would check if the client is
allowed to load foo.gif.

I would like to know if this is possible.
