You'll see the incoming cookies in HTTP_COOKIE. I'm not sure about HTTP Basic Auth though (I expected to see it in HTTP_AUTHORIZATION, but it seems that the servers handle this header and do not provide it in the ENV variables).
I just tested IIS/6.0. It provides the HTTP Authorization header in several environment variables: - HTTP_AUTHORIZATION (as mentioned in the original posting, above) - Part of ALL_HTTP - Part of ALL_RAW When the page is successfully authenticated, the credentials can also be found in: - AUTH_USER (and LOGON_USER, REMOTE_USER) and AUTH_PASSWORD ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: Watchfire The Twelve Most Common Application-level Hack Attacks Hackers continue to add billions to the cost of doing business online despite security executives' efforts to prevent malicious attacks.
