Hans,
I am actually trying to access them from a Java Console app compiled
to an .exe and run as a CGI in IIS. - Dont ask why?! :)
(servlets or JSP are not an option for us right now ... but will be in the
future!!)
I think that I may need to read the System.in and parse it in a similar
way to a Perl program does ... however I think I still need CONTENT_LENGTH
in
order to do the read successfully.
Anyone done anything like this before??
Perhaps my question is best suited to a Java forum ...
Thanks
Jonathan

Look at the Servlet API, <http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/>.
It contains explicit methods to get all info you get through environment
variables in a GCI script. Since a JSP page is actually a servlet, you
can use the complete Servlet API in your JSP pages.
