This line does not do what you want it to do.
.           <!-- #include virtual="/cgi-bin/resolvelnk.exe" -->

Firstly it should give an error because <!-- is not a recognised gsl command 

Then if you were to remove the leading . it might at least give a page 
with the cgi-bin line in it but I don't think it would execute it as it 
would be treated as a static html page not a dynamic shtml one.

What you need to do - which is tricky - is to use commands like .literal 
or .xml to load the text and the mangle it but I'm not sure you can do 
what you would want to do (assign a variable to the file contents which 
you would then manipulate with substr)...
