Yes, this is normal. Application servers cannot know what CGI variables are passed to it. In fact, if you loop over all CGI variables using ASP, you get many of the same CGI variables, but you get quite a few more.
The best you can do is check for specific values or for empty strings. You probably should not check for the existence of CGI variables for the reason you noticed.
