I understand how the HTTP request is represented on the wire, but
HttpRequest.getURI() will still hold the full URI (except I'm guessing in
the situation of redirects and auths where > 1 request is made.) The
original request.getURI() returned the full URI:
http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml
Looking at the headers, I can get the Host, but not scheme:
Accept : application/xml, text/xml, application/xhtml+xml
Content-Length : 91
Content-Type : application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=MacRoman
*Host : twitter.com:80*
Connection : Keep-Alive
Cookie :....
Cookie2 : ....
So I can _mostly_ reconstruct the request URI. But I don't think I can
reliably get the scheme.
