Server Variables

The ServerVariables object allows you to see many environment variables held by the server hosting the ASP page. You can use the ServerVariables to see who is currently accessing your site as well as the visitor's IP address; what browser visitors are using or what operating system is in use. There are many server variables available for you to gather information about a visitor and the hosting server.

The information contained in each server variable is collected for display using the Request.ServerVariables() syntax. You may want to capture certain information from the server about a visitor for use in something simple like a counter.

Here is a brief example
First we declare a variable to contain the information we want to retreive and store using the Dim Statement
<%
Dim IP1, Referred, OSweb

' Next we assign the variables to contain the information we are requesting
IP1 = Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR")
Referred = Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER")
OSweb = Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_USER_AGENT")
%>
Now we can use this information within our asp page and the variables we defined
to shorten up the amount of code used for displaying and using the information.

To display this we would write the following code

<%
Dim IP1, Referred, youare
OSweb = Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_USER_AGENT")
IP1 = Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR")
Referred = Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER")
Response.write "Welcome"
Response.write "Your IP Address is: <b>" & IP1& "</b><br><br>"
Response.write "You Came to this page from the following Url <br><b>" & Referred & "</b><br>"
Response.write "Your Browser and OS is <br><b>" & OSweb & "</b><br>"
%>

Here is the actual information displayed

Welcome Your IP Address is: 3.145.35.178 You Came to this page from the following Url http://www.gotfusion.com/tutsmk/asp/servervariables.asp Your Browser and OS is Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)

How do I do this in NetObjects Fusion?
