The two levels of CGI are confusing.  I presume you are trying to
generate a Lynx view of the web for GUI browsers.

There is nothing in the protocol that would allow you to distinguish
between a file and CGI generated response, so this is meaningless.

What do you mean (in terms of the headers received) by the distinction
between a CGI response and a non-CGI one?  (You are unlikely to get
a Last-Modified-Date: in a CGI response, but it is not impossible, and 
you may not always get a Content-Length, although I think you normally
do.  Doing POST to a file is unlikely to produce a 200 response, but it
may well return a file.)

Maybe lynx isn't /usr/bin/lynx.

Maybe it is but run through an alias, or script, which, say, defines
http_proxy.
