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.

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']
