[opencms-dev] how to access url displayed in browser's address bar

[Joe Desbonnet]

No -- it's not the right answer. As far as I can tell this information
is no longer available in the usual properties of the usual servlet
objects due to the reverse proxying etc.

I came across the same problem a while ago when incorporating Google
Maps into an OpenCms project. Google requires that you get a key which
is tied to a specific site+directory, so knowing what's in the
brower's location bar whould be helpful. I still don't have an answer,
but I didn't spend too long on it.

I suspect the solution may lie in looking at the extra header lines in
the request... Or maybe some sort of javascripty solution (yech!)


Joe.

So far I couldn't access the url displayed on the browser. I am doing on the case that somebody tries to fake the address to get into the server, i.e. writing the address by typing directly in the address bar.
