The question is: who is listening on that port. Is it a normal webserver
which will grab html pages or start a cgi.exe or has a cg.dll loaded ?
Or is it a dedicated webserver which handles request self ?

There are many possibilities. "/help/12345/full" could be directories
and then a default page would be grabbed and returned. "full"could be a
cgi.exe.

Indeed. It could be as simple as that number beeing a different diretory.
Or help is a cgi.exe which reacts on the number.
