I apologize, didn't mean to tease you. I did have this issue, many
moons ago, and I did work around it, but I don't think in a way that
works for you. In my solution, I had control over the client app and
the server in this issue. So when I needed to send a special header
attribute I wasn't able to access it in witango. So I instead appended
my custom attribute to the content-type header attribute like so:
Content-type: Multipart/binary; MyCustomAttribute=value1:value2:value3;
I then parsed it out like this:
<@assign local$rawdata "<@httpattribute post_args>">
<@assign local$datamap <@transpose <@tokenize str="<@httpattribute
CONTENT_TYPE>" chars=";=:">>>
Because the CONTENT_TYPE attribute was reliably available.
Sorry if that doesn't help, but I think it definitely confirms that
this was a BIG problem for me. And if there was ANY way to access a
custom attribute, I would have found it. I worked on this webservice,
which requires parsing request data for months. It ran reliably for 2
years and then was ported to PHP. In PHP this workaround was
unnecessary.

As far as I know, the FULL_HEADER attribute was never correctly
implemented, and does not work. This is only on Windows/IIS with
all versions of 5.5. I’m not sure about other platforms and/or web
server applications. I haven’t fully experimented.
You may have to receive the incoming user with a PHP script, write
the josso header element into a text file or database field, key
it, and then forward the user into your Witango application along
with the key.

Subject: Re: Witango-Talk: Help Witango Josso (accessing HTTPRequest)
Hi Scott,
thanks for your answer.
I'm using Witango Application Server 5.5.009 Liquorice (Win32)
[Professional Edition] and I'm developing with Witango Studio 5.5b2
on Windows OS.
I tried the @HTTPATTRIBUTE tag with NAME="FULL_HEADER" but that
doesn't return anything. @HTTPATTRIBUTE tag with known and
documented names (i.e. CLIENT_ADDRESS, USER_AGENT as an example) it
works.
I found an old post in the list:
http://developer.witango.com/forum/searchforum.taf?_function=detail&id=126704&vnav=developer
John McGowan says he has the same problem with @HTTPATTRIBUTE tag.
Thanks in advance for your help
Francesca

Oggetto: RE: Witango-Talk: Help Witango Josso (accessing HTTPRequest)
Hi Francesca,
You may have some challanges ahead of you, depending on what
version of Witango you have.
The Request.ServerVariables() object in ASP/.NET has to do with
retreiving HTTP header properties of the user's request to the
webserver. In your case, your code is looking for a custom HTTP
header property.
Unfortunately some versions of Witango have very limited access to
the HTTP request header.
If you have Witango 5.5 or later, then I think @HTTPATTRIBUTE is
what you'll want. But you may not be able to access HTTP_JOSSO_USER
directly, so use the NAME="FULL_HEADER" attribute on your metatag
(which returns the whole header) and then parse/search for the info
you need.
I hope that helps.
Scott,

Hi,
I'm trying to use Josso with Witango but I don't know how to get
HttpRequest in Witango.
Josso is a Single Sign On Authentication Server. It's able to give
back user information inside the HttpRequest.
The way to get user info from HttpRequest with a JSP is:
<%=request.getRemoteUser()%>
An example with ASP is:
<html>
<body>
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" >
<tr>
<td>
<b>Hello, <%=Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_JOSSO_USER")
%>!</b>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
How can I achieve the same task with Witango?
Thanks in advance for your response
Francesca
