AFAIK, the CGI protocol doesn't specify anything regarding custom
headers. It only specifies mandatory variables but leaves custom headers
to the webserver implementation. Apache forwards most headers in
environment variables (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/env.html).
But, CustCgi only reads a set of known variables listed in CgiVarNames.

Can you try

HTTPDecode(GetEnvironmentVariable('Filename'));

to get your custom header?

A good practice is to start your custom headers with 'X-YourAPP-'.
Headers starting with 'X-' are in a lot of implementations considered as
application specific headers and not touched by transport agents.
