As already answered on this list, there exist several ways to accomplish this.
The difference between:
$m->request_comp->path
and
$ENV{REQUEST_URI}
is the following:
$m->request_comp->path returns the actual component called, like:
/news/post/index.mhtml
whereas $ENV{REQUEST_URI} will only return /news/post/ if index.mhtml
is in "DirectoryIndex" and you actually only requested "/news/post/".
I think the difference is significant as the first one reveals your
filename, the 2nd does not. I for one never reveal my filenames, but
rather build up a directory structure and make an enormous amount of
index.mhtml files. I find this better for both cosmetic reasons and
security reasons. It also makes it easier to move from .mhtml
extensions to, say, .mason - or even .hph ;) or whatever you fancy.
My 2 cents
