Subject: A ruby-web (but not rails) question

I am trying to do something very simple. My web dir structure:

home/
    index.html
    cgi-bin/
        login  (a ruby script)

I have a form/button in index.html, and when submitted the action is to run 
cgi-bin/login. I have the necessary #! header etc.

I want the login script to return the same index.html file (except for one 
minor substitution), but it should appear to the client browser to come from 
home/ so that relative links will continue to work, rather than from 
cgi-bin. The following almost works, except it is based out of cgi-bin.

#!/usr/local/bin/ruby
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"
home_page = IO.read "../index.html"
print home_page

Any simple solution?

Thanks!
