Hello,

I have been developing servlets for some time and have come accross the
need for an environment variable not provided
with a get... method (i.e. getQueryString) in the HTTPRequest object.  I
would like to obtain HTTP_USER_AGENT so I know the
browser the user is using.  I know I can use the System.getenv method but I
don't want to use a depreciated method.

Does the Servlet API provide a general way of accessing a specific web
server/browsers environment variables or do we
only have access to what they provide has methods in the Request object?

I would appreciate help.

Thank you in advance.
