How to capture HTTP headers in JavaScript?

Dear Experts,

In JavaScript, how can i accquire HTTP headers such as Remote Address, Request Method and so on?

Basically what i know in ASP is, u just need to type in as follow :-
RemoteAddress = request.servervariables("remote_addr")

If my server is having internal IP & External IP and i would like give the different response base on the IP, how can i do it in JavaScript?

Example in ASP :
Internal IP = 123.456.789
External IP = 987.654.321

IF left(request.servervariables("remote_addr"),9) = "123.456.7" then
response.redirect "123.456.789/index.asp"
Else
response.redirect "www.mydomain.com/index.asp"
END IF

Experts, Plz share out your ideas....
Thanx

AFAIK, you cannot get http headers on the client side.

Hi third,

Basically i'm hosting the web server. And my situation goes like this :-

from my pageOne.htm, there is a link called pageTwo.htm with the URL "../Home/pageTwo.htm". If the users from our internal network, i would like the it to display the URL as "123.456.789/Home/pageTwo.htm", if the user from external then the URL will display as "http://www.mydomain.com/Home/pageTwo.htm"

basically i juz want to detect the user is internal or external by using the the server IP address

If you are running DNS servers on your internal network, you could use this to resolve the domain to a different IP for your internal users.
