You've to add a CGI mapping to c:\user\cgi-bin for this:

- admin dialog, page-register "Mappings"
- Add mapping for url "/user/cgi-bin/" to physical path "c:\user\cgi-bin"
  type "CGI"
- save config and restart server

You've to use url-encoded characters for all non US-ASCII character set char's
(%XX, where XX is the hexadecimal code of the character, i.e. "%40" is the
url-encoded character "@"). See RFC 1738 (2.2. URL Character Encoding Issues)
for details.
