IT
This term is mentioned in an Internet security document. As it's my first translation of this kind, I'm still a little uncertain of the jargon.
The sentence is as follows:
"HTTP header variabelen moeten kunnen doorgegeven worden: zowel standaard als extra gedefinieerde variabelen."
Can I translate "doorgeven" literally (e.g. "pass on"), or is there a specific IT phrase?
As always, KudoZ points will be awarded asap.
Thanks,
Pikey

pass
Variables and parameters are "passed".

: yes. variables are usually passed on. however, i think in this case 'assigned' could also be used. depends on the context.. hence my request...

Yes, that's correct. All the IT glossaries use the same translation. I'm familiar with this type of documents, so I'm pretty sure.

forwardable, in a forwardable format
Actually, you may use: forwardable/forwardable format.
Suits fine here.
Simply 'pass on' wouldn't work here (...moeten kunnen doorgegeven worden...')
E.g.:
... The following environment variables can be used with the telnet command: ... Authentication
will fail if the current DCE credentials are not marked forwardable. ...
