Have you ever loaded a web page and saw personal information about you on that
web page. Information such as your computer's name or what web browser you are
using. Ever wondered how they did that? It is quite simple really. Every time
you load a web page your web browser provides information about you to the
server. Most of the time this information is ignored. However, the web page
creator may choose use this data for their own purposes. They could display
information about you on the web page, or they could log this info behind the
scenes for their own review. Since it is possible for them to "log" your information without your knowledge, you might be interested to know exactly what information can be gathered about you. This is where WebClientInfo comes in. WebClientInfo will show you all the possible info a web site can gather about you. When your web browser requests a web page, the web server takes all the info from you and combines it with data about the web server itself. This combined set of data is then provided to the CGI script running on the web server. WebClientInfo displays this whole data set so you can see all the info. When you run WebClientInfo you will see data about both your computer and this web server. |
