This will hit the QUERY_STRING parameter.

Another less used parameter is PATH_INFO, the rewrite could
be into something like this:

http://foo.bar/_SID_=2374820394/myscript.cgi/

into something like:

http://foo.bar/myscript.cgi/2374820394

Apache takes the "/2374820394" and puts it into PATH_INFO,
where you can take it from.

And that leaves you with QUERY_STRING untouched.
