PL/SQL and non-standard CGI variables

The environment we're developing under is a little wierd in that all web requests are brokered by a "pseudo proxy server" that pre-process the HTTP header. In particular the proxy adds a number of CGI environment variables to the request.

We are developing a PL/SQL cartridge app that needs to check for some of these variables. Unfortunately when we call "get_cgi_env" or "print_cgi_env" the custom variables are not included. Needless to say this is bad.

I've poked around a number of technical resources and am getting suspicious that PL/SQL can only access a certain set of CGI environment variables.

It would be really, really great if someone could tell me that I'm hallucinating and the PL/SQL can access arbitrary CGI vars.

Thanks everyone!
