First of all, these are the variables, which represent the lines 
of the title of the client request, for example, $http_user_agent, 
$http_cookie and so forth.

All headers sent by client are available through $http_* 
variables.  Their existance isn't guaranteed and their meaning 
defined elsewhere (e.g. in relevant standards).

Some more notes on variables in general:

Any module can define its own variables, and so variables are 
usually documented in context of module which provides them.
