Newbie-question: Fetching web-address from the browser!

[Jeremy Dillworth]

os.environ is available, I've used it in CGI scripts on 
WinNT and Win2k.  Do you mean you literally tried
os.environ[''] (i.e. a blank key)?

Anyway, creating a file with the following code should
help:
---- snip
import cgi
cgi.test()
---- snip

then punch the address of the script into your browser and
you'll find the CGI module prints a nice report about
what's available in the environment.

Also, there is a reference to standard CGI environment
variables at:  http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/cgi/env.html
(these should apply whether you're running IIS/Apache/etc)
