I don't know the answer to your question, but when I was doing cgi, I
wrote a simple C program to dump out all of the env variables
(appended). It might help to compile it and run it as a cgi on your own
server (I do have it running at
http://enchant.res.cmu.edu/cgi-bin/getenv, but it'll be different for
you if you're not using the same web server as I am). It shouldn't be
difficult to write something similar in python, either.
----- dumpenv.c -----
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[], char *envp[])
{
char *s;
int i=0;
fprintf(stdout, "Content-type: text/html\n\n");
while(envp[i]){
fprintf(stdout, "%s<BR>\n", envp[i]);
i++;
}
}
----- dumpenv.c -----
