How to find out what you can know about a server

Using Request.ServerVariables in IIS code

[Xoc]

In the last few days, there has been a number of questions that have been answered with information retrieved from Request.ServerVariables. This code, first posted here, [webmasterworld.com ], shows how to do that. Similar code will work from .NET.

Place this code into an ASP page, then browse to the page. I suggest taking the page offline or restricting access to it, since some of the variables might help a hacker.

<table border="1"> 
<th colspan="2">ServerVariables</th> 
<% 
Dim var 
For Each var in Request.ServerVariables 
 Call Response.Write("<tr>") 
 Call Response.Write("<td><b>" & var & "</b>:</td>") 
 Call Response.Write("<td>" & Request.ServerVariables(var) _ 
  & "</td>") 
 Call Response.Write("</tr>") 
Next 
%> 
</table> 

This code has been added to the Library [webmasterworld.com] if you are looking for it in the future.
