Hi,

I am trying to extract the url and base the processing on it…  
Have written a series of webrick servlets for this purpose…  
But am unable to extract the url.

Supposing i have 2 forms, say

bla bla bla2 bla2

How do i extract the url from these 2 forms and process accordingly?  
i tried with req.uri , but webrick reports an error…  
how do i call it?

Thanks
