Thanks for this tiny perl-thingie :-) Of course I protected the cgi-bin
by .htaccess as well.
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
for(keys %ENV){
print "\$ENV{$_} => $ENV{$_}\n";
}
Wrote some HTML that calls this script once with METHOD=POST or
with METHOD=GET. Here is the output:
.
.
$ENV{REQUEST_METHOD} => POST
$ENV{REMOTE_HOST} =>
sp.tech.iphh.net
$ENV{HTTP_REFERER} =>
http://noc.iphh.de/test2.html
$ENV{QUERY_STRING} =>
$ENV{HTTP_USER_AGENT}
=> Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.01; Windows NT)
.
.
and with METHOD=GET
.
.
$ENV{REQUEST_METHOD} => GET
$ENV{REMOTE_HOST} =>
sp.tech.iphh.net
$ENV{REMOTE_USER} => hostmaster-sp
$ENV{HTTP_REFERER} =>
http://noc.iphh.de/test2.html
$ENV{QUERY_STRING} =>
$ENV{HTTP_USER_AGENT}
=> Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.01; Windows NT)
$ENV{PATH} =>
/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
.
.
The REMOTE_USER variable definitely disappears ... I tried
Apache 1.3.12 on the machine as well but that doesn't change
anything.
