[users@httpd] "Script GET /cgi-bin/foo" doesn't apply to all GET requests

The documentation at

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_actions.html#script

says that "Script with a method of GET will only be called if there are query arguments present."  Is there any way to work around this limitation?  I would like a GET request for e.g.

http://example.com/user/foo

to be passed through to the specified CGI script irrespective of whether query arguments are present or not.

I didn't mention this in my original email, but I would like to call
different scripts depending on the method.  e.g. GET.php for GET,
PUT.php for PUT.

Just don't use the Script directive then.

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/cgi-bin/

<Directory /var/www/cgi-bin>
   Options ExecCGI

</Directory>

will allow any file within that directory to be executed as a CGI 
script, no matter the method or the arguments.
Just make sure that what you put there is safe.
