Hi Yan,
If you just need to access the env var which doesn''t change like
SERVER_NAME, you should be able to access it directly using "request".
However, if your env var is dynamicly set, you can try my way.
I use mod_rewrite to proxy to Mongrel. In your httpd.conf (you need mod_header)
RequestHeader set X_YOUR_ENV your_value
And in Rails access it by
request.env["HTTP_X_YOUR_ENV"]
Hope it helps,
Kevin
