Why not? Just call it directly.

When you visit that address. *Instead* of going to index.html, you go to
e.g. index.cgi. It works the same as any other server-side language.
E.g. my site uses PHP - the main page is called index.php instead of
index.html. The end user only sees the resulting HTML, but the HTML
(along with any headers, cookies, etc.) is generated by PHP.
