No, that's not what you requested.

Put simply, put a '/' in front of the 'cgi-bin' in order to
make it a proper URI. Put more complexly, make it at
least an HTTP/1.0 request rather than HTTP/0.9 by adding
" HTTP/1.0" at the end. (This probably won't make a
difference, but it's a good idea anyway.)
