Getting user's time from web revlet?

[Jim Ault]

If I were determined to make use of an irev script with an HTTP header  
that was unsupported by the irev engine,

I could create a userPage.php page that captured the header string(s)  
then called the irev script passing the params.  This address could be

myaccount.on-rev.com/userPage.php

I might use this to enhance the Rev cgi 3.5 Linux capabilities to use  
custom headers.
It won't work in reverse since every one of the (HTTP header data  
strings) needs to arrive in a php script.

so these would not do the trick
myaccount.on-rev.com/userPage.cgi
myaccount.on-rev.com/userPage.irev
