HTTP Header Variables Available for Script Processing

HTTP header variables are moved into the WebFOCUS variable table and become WebFOCUS variables, at which point you can use them in WebFOCUS scripts to further customize processing and control of the WebFOCUS Client.

You can use standard HTTP header variables in addition to your WebFOCUS Client settings (see WebFOCUS Administration Console) to further customize processing and control of the WebFOCUS Client. You can place the following variables that are placed in the WebFOCUS variable table by the Servlet in site.wfs or in the node profile of a specified server.
