If you don't specify a collection to search, asp will look through the
following in the shown order until a match is found.

QueryString
Form
Cookies
ClientCertificate
ServerVariables

So you could say that request("x") is the same as request.querystring("x")
if there is a querystring.

I must point out to all that request("x") should be avoided as it is very
slow perfomance wise compared to specifying the invididual collection
(eg, form, querystring, servervariables, cookie)

Yeah, and you don't really know what you're getting.
