That can't be answered in general because FreeMarker has no dependency
on Servlet-s or on HTTP at all; it just sees whatever was put into the
data-model and generates text, and that's it. So what is available for
the templates and how is completely up to the Web application
framework authors. Sure, there is a freemarker.ext.servlet package,
but that's just an extension (and I don't like that it's part of
freemarker.jar) and many web frameworks use their own solution instead
(and they should).
