Hey all,
I'm strecthing my area of expertise here, but I had our sys admin set an Environment Variable in etc/profile and a different Environment Variable in Apache. I don't seem to be able to access either. I've tried <dtml-var "REQUEST['varname']">, but that throws an KeyError. Any thoughts.
It looks like there is no generic DTML inteface to env variables, the REQUEST obj does get some env vars but only those defined in the CGI spec. I suspect the easiest solution is to write an external method that examines your environment. import os def getEnvVar(var): return os.environ[var] or something like that. -Michel
