HTTP_ACCEPT* keys in your %ENV should contain what you are looking for: `#!/usr/bin/perl print "Content-type: text/plain\r\n\r\n"; while (($key, $value) = each %ENV) { print "$key\t$value\n"; }` [download] Ciao, Valerio	[reply] [d/l]

Well, in CGI environment you only get what CGI is specified to give you. btw.: you do not get anything "sent back" to you from the Browser. The Browser only requests, it never responds. -- http://fruiture.de	[reply]

Look at http() subroutine in CGI module.	[reply]

You could find some interesting info if you check what the magic hash, %ENV, contains.	[reply]

The cgic libaray from www.boutell.com comes with a little "capture" utility, which captures your transaction. If you are testing on a local machine, you can do "ngrep -d lo" to dump your loopback device, and will show exactly what was sent and received. There are some utilities available on freshmeat.net for diagnosing http connections,	[reply]
