How to get CGI request-URL

[Hallvard B Furuseth]

How can I get the URL the user typed (except the part after '?') with
the cgi module?

I expect the 'Host:' HTTP header + os.environ['SCRIPT_NAME'] would do
it, but I don't see how to find the Host header. The www server has
several names, so I can't just use the default host name.

Don't remember but...

There's a test() function in the cgi module that shows the special data
available from a CGI script.

Thanks for the answers.

Glad to be of assistance, but you didn't tell us what the
actual solution to your problem was... It is always a good idea
to do so because others that have the same problem, and
reading the thread, can immediately benefit

Good point. I'll come back when I'm sure my solution actually works...
I need to get someone to intall the program first.

'https://' + os.environ['SERVER_NAME'] + os.environ['REQUEST_URI']
