Http Contact Environment Variables
Name	Description
AUTH_TYPE	The protocol-specific authentication method used to validate the user when the server supports user authentication and the script requires authentication.
CONTENT_LENGTH	The content length of the data as specified by the client.
CONTENT_TYPE	The content type of the data for queries such as HTTP GET and HTTP POST that have attached information.
PATH_INFO	Extra path information as given by the client. Scripts can be accessed by a virtual pathname, followed by extra information at the end of the path. The extra information is sent as PATH_INFO. The server decodes this information if it comes from a URL before it is passed to the script.
PATH_TRANSLATED	Translated version of PATH_INFO, with any associated virtual-to-physical mapping.
QUERY_STRING	The information that follows the question mark (?) in the URL that references this script. This information is the query information. Do not decode it. Always set this variable when there is query information, regardless of command line decoding.
REMOTE_ADDR	The IP address of the remote host making the request.
PREMOTE_HOST	The hostname making the request. If the server does not have this information, it will instead set REMOTE_ADDR.
REMOTE_USER	The authenticated user name when the server supports user authentication and the script requires authentication.
REQUEST_METHOD	The method of the request that was made, such as GET or POST.
SCRIPT_NAME	A virtual path to the script being executed, used for self-referencing URLs.
SERVER_NAME	The server’s hostname, (Domain Name Service) DNS alias, or IP address as it would appear in a self-referencing URL.
SERVER_PORT	The TCP port number of the request.
SERVER_PROTOCOL	The name and revision of the information protocol of the request, in the format: protocol/revision.
