I've looked at mod header and set env and I don't really want to add a perl wrapper to a lovely C program. I was hoping I could do something like getenv("HEADERS_REMAINING") or I could write an apache module to grab the SOAPAction header and set it in an environment variable.

I've had a look and SOAPAction seems to be an extension maybe of some
sort as listed here

http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/NOTE-SOAP-20000508/#_Toc478383528

It just doesn't seem like apache has a way of getting the value of this
header easily. I've had a look at using mod_header/setenvif but I'm
hoping to have about 100 different values for SOAPAction. It seems I can
write an apache module to maybe do this:

HTTPHeader SOAPAction 

Which will convert the SOAPAction header to an environment variable 
HTTPHeader_SOAPAction and maybe the prefix can be defined as well.

The CGI spec Nick is pointing you to says arbitrary headers are
already available in the env as HTTP_$headername.
