You can't tell how exile is implemented just from this URL alone.

If you want exile to be processed via CGI, take a look at the Yaws CGI
documentation here:

http://yaws.hyber.org/cgi.yaws

You can also do this with a Yaws appmod:

http://yaws.hyber.org/appmods.yaws

In an appmod you can obtain the query string portions of the URL via
the #arg appmod argument, as described here:

http://yaws.hyber.org/query.yaws

For Yaws-specific questions, you might want to use the erlyaws-list:
