Environment Variables in HTML (no CGI or SSI)

[fpwr]

Does anyone know if it is possible to display/access environment variables purely in HTML? There are numerous ways to do this with CGI scripts, Server Side Includes, ASP, Coldfusion, etc..., however, I think that I need to be able to do this purely in HTML....

We are in the process of migrating a bunch of sites to a new server and some of the URLs will be changing. I wanted to create a custom redirect page to replace the standard MS [tt]404b.htm[/tt] file that gets displayed when a page cannot be found. I want it to interpret the old link that was attempted and then display a page with the new link and a message to "update your links." I tried to do this in Coldfusion (which would be the easiest for me), however, IIS doesn't seem to execute the page as a CF page in the event of an error (it displays the page but only as HTML)....

Any ideas? Has anyone ever done anything similar? Thanks.

Not possible.

If you want a coded 404 page set the type to URL then it will execute the code.

Make sure that a 404 response is returned after the code has parsing script ends otherwise IIS will return a 200 response
