To add further details:
An ISAPI Filter can add new request headers. As well as manipulate/
remove "structured" request and response headers. The request headers
can be retrieved by an ASP.Net application using a certain syntax with
Request.ServerVariable.

And as such, there are limits to what header names can be retrieved.
See this blog entry for the full explanation.
