Property |
Description |
|---|---|
The values of fields stored in the client certificate that is sent in the HTTP request. |
|
The values of cookies sent in the HTTP request. |
|
The values of form elements in the HTTP request body. |
|
The values of variables in the HTTP query string. |
|
The values of predetermined environment variables. |
|
Read-only; specifies the total number of bytes the client is sending in the body of the request. |
Remarks
If the specified variable is not in one of the preceding five collections, the Request object returns EMPTY.
All variables can be accessed directly by calling Request(variable**)** without the collection name. In this case, the Web server searches the collections in the following order:
QueryString
Form
Cookies
ClientCertificate
ServerVariables
If a variable with the same name exists in more than one collection, the Request object returns the first instance that the object encounters.
It is strongly recommended that when referring to members of a collection the full name be used. For example, rather than Request.("AUTH_USER") use Request.ServerVariables("AUTH_USER"). This allows the server to locate the item more quickly.
