The file would already exist on the client side. They are uploading the file to be
processed by this program MyCppProg.exe, which is invoked as a form 'action'. This
already works, but depends on the Apache variable REMOTE_USER being set when user logs
in, but we moving to implement a different method for authentication that involves
talking to two different Oracle databases, password rules, etc., so this REMOTE_USER
variable no longer gets set since we are bypassing Apache's authentication here.
So I need to set an 'environment' variable that remains visible to scripts and progs
within the session space, that can then be grabbed by the MyCppProg.exe, for example
with getenv("MyEnvVar"). It used to use getenv("REMOTE_USER").
I'm hoping to not have this variable have to be part of the file that gets uploaded.
thanks,
