Not sure if this could be obtained another way, but I wanted to access the
web server variables on who the web visitor was from.

In most of my website templates, I have these setup so that I can access
them system wide incase I need the info to do something.

Created a plugin to load the some variables with common Apache web server
info like:

{wv-remote_addr}  Visitor's Remote IP
{wv-remote_host}  Visitor's Hostname if available
{wv-webroot}      Webroot
{wv-requri}       Requested URI
{wv-servername}   Requested Server Name
{wv-useragent}    Visitor's User Agent String
{wv-referer}      Referer if any
{wv-self}         Self Script Name

These are simply loads of what the web server knows about the visitor like:

$BOLTvar['$wv-remote_addr'] = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

I used unique variable names so that they don't collide with other boltwire
variables.

To use it on a site, you would use [(webvisitor)] in the top zone and then
reference the variables like {vw-remote_addr} to see the IP the visitor is
coming from for example.

Had a lot of problems posting this to the Boltwire site due to Connection
Timeouts but it appears to have posted okay.
