Custom server variable

I'm trying to create a custom server variable. Is there a way to do
this? Maybe as an ISAPI filter?

I know there are MUCH better/easier ways to store session data ...
However, I'm dealing with a legacy application that relies on this.

Thanks in advance.

Yes an ISAPI filter will allow you to add new headers into the context which
can then be seen as Server variables.

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.
