Are you sure? Please excuse my ignorance, but logically, since the call is
made from an ASP application, shouldn't ASP info be presents on some level?
I mean, if I have a standard Win32 COM object, I can get IRequest info from
the application context (IObjectContext) obtained via GetObjectContext API.
Can't I do something similar from a .NET assembly, maybe via interop?
