Pursuant to Eddie's recent concerns about bandwidth, there is a post (see POST A below) that is five lines long but utilizes 262 lines. I think that getting these down to size would be very productive. The code Eddie complained about was 304 lines long but included the code that would answer the question asked and end the thread. The number of threads that repeat irrelevant matter do not bother me, but if there is a bandwidth issue, and it is new to me, this is clearly the place to solve it rather than making people host code answers on their own sites, as Eddie suggested.
Hopefully, if there is a bandwidth problem, we can all cut down the repeating of unnecessary matter in our posts. Jack P.S. The post in mind is this, but this is NOT UNUSUAL and I hope Martin is not at all offended by this example. There are thousands of similar posts and many, many, many today alone, including some by people concerned with bandwidth. POST A POST A POST A POST A POST A POST A POST A I am looking for the: http://blahblahblah.com:8080/AppName/ As Craig said I can get that if I have a Request object. But from a PlugIn I don't have that. I can think of some ugly hacks but nothing clean. - Hide quoted text - --Marty --- Dakota Jack <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Do you want the URL or the Internet Protocol address?
