CGI environment variables

When a browser makes a request to a server, the web server
and the browser create environment variables. In
ColdFusion MX, these variables are referred to as
environment variables
of whether the server uses a server API or CGI to
communicate with the ColdFusion server.
Environment variables contain data about the transaction
between the browser and the server, such as the IP Address,
browser type, and authenticated username. You can
reference CGI environment variables for a given page
request anywhere in the page. CGI variables are read-only.
Note:
The environment variables available to applications depend
on the browser and server software.
