As a CGI environment variable this is in all compliant CGI 1.1 servers (which includes NCSA 1.3 and above, Apache, and all the commercial servers I've seen which implement CGI) as it is really a header which is passed on the request, and all headers (except the method) are passed to the CGI environment with the HTTP_ prefix applied. Obligatory www-html relevancy: hopefully authors of HTML browsers will make sure they add the appropriate Accept: headers as they start implementing 2.x features.
