S_OK	Indicates that the operation was successful.

Remarks

IIS uses the GetServerVarChanges method to test for changes to the HTTP server variables since the last time the server variables were examined.

Note

IIS uses the GetServerVarChanges method to internally synchronize the server variables between calls to native and managed code. Developers should not use the GetServerVarChanges method when creating their HTTP modules.
