How To: Display All Server Variables (ASP.Net)
Tuesday, June 28, 2005

There are many instances where you might want to either write all of the items in the Server Variables collection, or at least be able to step through them. For instance, you may want to know use this information as part of the text returned from a feedback form to let you know what the user's settings and referring URL were. Or, perhaps you want to know this information as part of an error handling schema you have developed.
A simple example of gathering a single piece of information from the Server Variables collection:
Here is an example of how you can loop through and display or collect all of the available Server Variables.
You should be able to look at output similar to this:
ALL_RAW - (a summary of all of the most commonly used variables)
APPL_MD_PATH - /LM/W3SVC/3/Root/
APPL_PHYSICAL_PATH - (file system path where the application resides)
AUTH_TYPE -
AUTH_USER -
AUTH_PASSWORD -
LOGON_USER -
REMOTE_USER -
CERT_COOKIE -
CERT_FLAGS -
CERT_ISSUER -
CERT_KEYSIZE -
CERT_SECRETKEYSIZE -
CERT_SERIALNUMBER -
CERT_SERVER_ISSUER -
CERT_SERVER_SUBJECT -
CERT_SUBJECT -
CONTENT_LENGTH - (size of page or document)
CONTENT_TYPE -
GATEWAY_INTERFACE - CGI/1.1
HTTPS - off
HTTPS_KEYSIZE -
HTTPS_SECRETKEYSIZE -
HTTPS_SERVER_ISSUER -
HTTPS_SERVER_SUBJECT -
INSTANCE_ID - 3
INSTANCE_META_PATH - /LM/W3SVC/3
LOCAL_ADDR - (internal IP address)
PATH_INFO - (path of url)
PATH_TRANSLATED - (local file system path of URL)
QUERY_STRING - (querystring collection)
REMOTE_ADDR - (normally the IP number)
REMOTE_HOST - (normally the IP number)
REMOTE_PORT -
REQUEST_METHOD - (normall GET or POST)
SCRIPT_NAME - (web path of url)
SERVER_NAME - (DNS-qualified name of host server)
SERVER_PORT - (HTTP port used)
SERVER_PORT_SECURE - 0
SERVER_PROTOCOL - HTTP/1.1
SERVER_SOFTWARE - (HTTP Server type)
URL - (the url used)
HTTP_CONNECTION - Keep-Alive
HTTP_ACCEPT - (collection of accepted file types)
HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING - gzip, deflate
HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE - en-us
HTTP_COOKIE - (cookie collection)
HTTP_HOST - (DNS-qualified name of host server)
HTTP_REFERER - (previous url)
HTTP_USER_AGENT - (browser used)

A simple example of gathering a single piece of information from the Server Variables collection:
Dim strIpNumber As String = Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR")
Response.Write(strIpNumber)
' this should return an IP number like 123.123.123.123Here is an example of how you can loop through and display or collect all of the available Server Variables.
' prepare variablesDim strText As String = ""Dim nvcSV As System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection = Request.ServerVariables
Dim arrKeys() As String = nvcSV.AllKeys
Dim iCnt As Integer = 0 ' loop through the collection and write the results
For iCnt = 0 To arrKeys.Length - 1
strString &= UCase(arrKeys(iCnt)) & " - " & nvcSV.Get(iCnt).ToString & vbCrLf
