You misunderstood Toby. The cgi *is* the page. The entire page is
generated by the cgi script. So the address of the page is the address
of the cgi.

No - the headers are sent by the server before the content of the page.

I highly doubt a cgi would run client-side at all, but even if it did it
would fail for anyone with client-side scripting disabled/unavailable.
