Trailing path information from the URL requested by the client

Syntax

string = rb.page.env.PathInfo(realReq)

Parameters

The 'env.PathInfo' method takes 1 parameter:

Results

The 'env.PathInfo' method returns string:

Remarks

This method returns the portion of the URL for the page requested beyond the resolved resource. For example if the client requests

http://www.whitebeam.org/test.rhtm/field1/field2

this method would return /field1/field2.

Modified behaviour from Whitebeam 0.9.19 onwards

By default the presentation serves up information about the page actually being served. If the single parameter is present and has a value of 'true' then the engine returns information about the page requested by the client. The only situation in which these two are different is in the case of an error handler page (eg NotFound.rhtm). In this case passing no parameter would simply return information about the NotFound.rhtm error page, which is generally not very useful. Passing 'true' as a paramter will tell the handler about which page was actaully requested by the server.
