Any way to read the CGI collection?

I am trying to use items from the CGI variable collection, but can't seem to find a way to read, for instance CGI.REMOTE_USER variable.     Anyone know of a way to use these in an iRule?

NTLM is slightly different. An authorization header is still used, but the user/pass aren't sent in every request. Take a look at this page which gives a good summary of the "protocol":

If you use a browser add-on like Fiddler for IE or LiveHttpHeaders for FF, you can base64 decode the messages to see exactly what's being sent.
