Hello all,  
I am trying to get (using Ajax) the URL which is sent to the server  
when I click on a button/link  
Also, I want to store the results from this URL request  
Did somebody know helper in Rails which allow me to do that ?  
In the same way, how can I get my current IP address using Ajax, in  
rails ?

Thanks,  
Thib
