There are two ways to pass data to an midgard page (for a GET request,
which is what you're describing):
- encode them in the CGI way: /page?article=id&display=full etc
- pass them as extra path info: /page/id/etc/more/yaknow
In the second form, everything after the URL part that leads to the
page is put in the $argv array (first component = $argv[0], etc). For
this to work, the page must be marked 'active'. The situation you
describe above is probably caused by the page being static.
