Any way to read the CGI collection?

I assume remote user is the base64 encoded value in the Authorization header. If so, you can use HTTP::header value Authorization to get the header value, decode it using b64decode and then split the value on the decoded colon:

 

 

set auth_value [HTTP::header value Authorization]

 

set decoded_auth_value [b64decode $auth_value]

 

set user [getfield $decoded_auth_field 1]

 

set pass [getfield $decoded_auth_field 2]

 

 

or:

 

 

set user [getfield [b64decode [HTTP::header value Authorization] 1]

 

set pass [getfield [b64decode [HTTP::header value Authorization] 2]

 

 

Most of the other CGI variables are available using various commands:

 

 

- client IP address and port: [IP::client_addr] and [TCP::client_port]

 

- VIP IP and port by using [IP::local_addr] and [TCP::local_port] in a client side event

 

- request method: [HTTP::method

 

- path: [HTTP::path]

 

- URI: [HTTP::uri]

 

- query string: [HTTP::query]

 

- content type: [HTTP::header value Content-Type]

 

- content length: [HTTP::header value Content-Length]

 

 

For details on the commands, you can check the corresponding wiki pages:
