Problem with Apache CGI enviroment variables via PL/SQL Gateway Module

Hello!



I am trying to get the certificate data information, which is exported
by mod_ssl Apache module as environment variables(of course if the
client has initiated a https session and had authorised himself with
his certificate), ie SSL_CLIENT_CERT and etc. I tried to access the
variables via owa_util.get_cgi_env('SSL_CLIENT_CERT') but it did not
returned any data. After printing all variables with
owa_util.print_cgi_env none of SSL related variables did not show up.
So the question is: How to access these variables under PL/SQL?
I read about passing by a perl cgi for example, which does not have
any problems and after that it to pass the needed data as parameter to
PL/SQL stored procedure, but it is too insecure and infact does not
solve the problem but walks around it...
Additional Ref: I tried this both in Oracle8i and Oracle 9i AS, does
not work
 


Any help will be much appreciated!
