I'm not sure what you mean. Are you saying that you want to remotely
retrieve the environment variables that IIS provides to applications? You
can't. IIS must be processing a Web request (via ASP, CGI, ISAPI, etc) in
which the server variables are provided to the program. In a Perl CGI
script, for example, the variables are in the %ENV associative array, e.g.
$ua = $ENV{'HTTP_USER_AGENT'};
If you wanted to get this information from a remote program, you could write
two scripts. One that runs on the server, collects all the variables, and
returns them in an easily parsable format. The second (remote) script
requests this document and parses out the information.
