How would you get the current url location? I've tried to build the current url using request.env.http_host + request.env.path_info, but it doesn't take into account routes.py.
For example using that method returns 127.0.0.1:8000/init/default/ contact, but I want it to return http://127.0.0.1:8000/contact -- which is the what is displayed in the browser.
