Request Object

The Request object retrieves the values that the client browser passed to the server during an HTTP request.

Syntax

Request[.Collection](variable)

Collections

For more information about the variable parameter, see the individual collection descriptions.

Remarks

If the specified variable is not in one of the preceding four collections, the Request object returns EMPTY.

All variables can be accessed directly by calling Request(variable) without the collection name. In this case, the Web server searches the collections in the following order.

1. QueryString

2. Form

3. Cookies

4. ClientCertificate

5. ServerVariables

If a variable with the same name exists in more than one collection, the Request object returns the first instance that the object encounters.
