Handling a xxx?yyy request as xxx

Hello,

I'm evaluating tux as a replacement for thttpd on a server which only
displays static content.

I have a URL - http://octopus2.webdmz.tv2.dk/tv2f.jpg - which needs to
be reloaded on each and every request to http://tv2.dk/

Experience has shown that we have to refer to the image as - e.g. -
tv2f.jpg?nc=205637972.6326 where the part after ? is either a random
string or a microsecond based number. Otherwise, some browsers will
cache too much.

When issuing a request like http://somewhere/tv2f.jpg?something to
web-servers like thttpd and Apache, they simply return the static
content, ignoring the query part. Tux returns a 404 error:
http://octopus2.webdmz.tv2.dk/tv2f.jpg?xxxx

Is there a way to configure tux so that it will simply always ignore the
query part of a request.
