Getting custom HTTP request headers in web.py?

Question

I know that, with web.ctx.env, I can get a lot of information that comes from the headers -- but only the standard headers. Is it possible to obtain all HTTP request headers from within a GET or POST method in web.py?

Are you sure that it has only standard headers? Cos I'm using it to check web.ctx.env.get('HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH') == 'XMLHttpRequest' which is not in the list on that page. I also get values of HTTP_X_FILE_NAME and HTTP_X_FILE_TYPE headers that I set in xhr like this: xhr.setRequestHeader( "X-File-Type", file.type );.
