Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R3

The Requestobject retrieves the values that the client browser passed to the server during an HTTP request. The following table lists the levels of support for the Requestobject.

Request method	Windows Embedded CE implementation
ClientCertificate	No support.
Cookies	See Collection Objects.
Form	See Collection Objects.
QueryString	See Collection Objects.
ServerVariables	See Collection Objects.
TotalBytes	Full support.
BinaryRead	Full support.

Note:
The BinaryReadmethod returns the data exactly as it is read from the browser. This can have unexpected results. Both the Microsoft JScript and VBScript languages use only Unicode strings internally. Windows Embedded CE–based ASP automatically converts ASP pages from ANSI to Unicode, but it does not perform the same conversion on data from BinaryRead. If the browser sends an ANSI string as form data and an ASP page calls BinaryRead, no conversion to Unicode is made and the data is unintelligible to the scripting language.

Note:
The BinaryReadmethod may be called multiple times. On the first call to BinaryRead, Windows Embedded CE-based ASP reads count bytes from the beginning of the Form data. On the next call to BinaryRead, Windows Embedded CE-based ASP reads from where the first call to BinaryReadended and not from the beginning of the Form buffer. Similarly, subsequent calls to BinaryReadbegin where the last read ended and not at the beginning.
