Extract HTTP Headers Using a Shell Script

To access the default HTTP headers, you can extract their values from the environment and display them. This example uses a shell script, called TEST.SH, to return these variables to the browser.

#!/bin/sh
# First put out a valid header
echo Content-Type: text/html
echo
# Then echo out the variables
echo HTTP_SM_USER: $HTTP_SM_USER
echo HTTP_SM_AUTHTYPE: $HTTP_SM_AUTHTYPE
echo HTTP_SM_AUTHDIRNAME: $HTTP_SM_AUTHDIRNAME
echo HTTP_SM_SERVERSESSIONID: $HTTP_SM_SERVERSESSIONID
echo HTTP_SM_SESSIONID: $HTTP_SM_SESSIONID
