QtmhGetEnv API provides information about the following HTTP Server
environment variables:
(for a complete list of the environment variables set by the HTTP server, see
this page)
Environment variable |
Meaning |
AUTH_TYPE |
If the server supports client authentication and the script is a
protected script, this environment variable contains the method
that is used to authenticate the client. For example: Basic
|
CGI_ASCII_CCSID |
Contains the ASCII CCSID the server used when converting
CGI input data. If the server did not perform any conversion,
(for example, in %%BINARY%% mode), the server sets this value to
the DefaultNetCCSID configuration directive value
|
CGI_MODE |
Contains the CGI conversion mode the server is using for this
request. Valid values are %%EBCDIC%%, %%MIXED%%, %%BINARY%%, or
%%EBCDIC_JCD%%
(for more information, see
HTTP Server for AS/400 Webmaster's Guide).
The program can use this information to
determine what conversion, if any, was performed by the server
on CGI input data and what format that data is currently in
|
CGI_EBCDIC_CCSID |
Contains the EBCDIC CCSID under which the current server
job is running (DefaultFsCCSID configuration directive). It also
represents the current job CCSID that is used during server
conversion (if any) of CGI input data
|
CONTENT_LENGTH |
When the method of POST is used to send information, this
variable contains the number of characters. Servers typically do
not send an end-of-file flag when they forward the information
by using stdin. If needed, you can use the CONTENT_LENGTH value
to determine the end of the input string. For example: 7034
|
CONTENT_TYPE |
When information is sent with the method of POST, this
variable contains the type of data included. You can create your
own content type in the server configuration file and map it to
a viewer. For example:
Application/x-www-form-urlencoded
|
GATEWAY_INTERFACE |
The version of the CGI specification with which the server complies.
Format: CGI/revision |
HTTP_ACCEPT |
MIME content types the browser will accept.
|
HTTP_COOKIE |
All the cookies available to the current page.
|
HTTP_HOST |
Contains the HTTP host URL.
Example: www.easy400.net
|
HTTP_REFERER |
Reference to the page or frame the current page or frame was linked from |
HTTP_USER_AGENT |
String identifying the Web client. Includes name and version of the browser, request made through a
proxy, and other information.
|
IBM_CCSID_VALUE |
The CCSID under which the current server job is running. |
PATH_INFO |
The extra path information following the path information required to
identify the CGI program name. |
PATH_TRANSLATED |
The server provides a translated version of PATH_INFO, which takes the
path and does any virtual-to-physical mapping to it. |
QUERY_STRING |
Anything that follows the first ? in the request URL. The string is
encoded in the standard URL format of changing spaces to '+" and
encoding special characters with '%xx' hexadecimal encoding. |
REMOTE_ADDR |
The IP address of the remote host making the request |
REMOTE_HOST |
The hostname making the request. |
REMOTE_IDENT |
User ID of the remote user. |
REQUEST_METHOD |
The method with which the request was made. For HTTP, this is GET or
POST. |
REMOTE_USER |
If you have a protected script and the server supports client
authentication, this environment variable contains the user name
that is passed for authentication
|
SCRIPT_NAME |
A virtual path to the program being executed, used for
self-referring URLs. |
SERVER_ADDR |
The server's IP address |
SERVER_NAME |
The server's hostname, DNS alias, or IP address as it would appear in
self-referring URLs |
SERVER_PORT |
The port number to which the request was sent. |
SERVER_PROTOCOL |
The name and revision of the information protocol this request came in
with. Format: protocol/revision |
SERVER_SOFTWARE |
The name and version of the information server software answering the
request (and running the gateway). Format: name/version.
