In servlet terminology, the "/I/want/to/get/off" part of the URI above
is called the "extra path info", which is informally defined as
"anything in the request URI after the part used to recognize which
servlet to call." not a parameter. you retrieve it by using the
HttpServletRequest.getPathInfo() call.
When figuring stuff like this out, I have found it really useful to grab
the SnoopServlet example from the JSDK, stick it in your zone, and throw
a variety of request URIs at it to see what shows up where.
