Hi,

Could anyone explain to me what the difference is between the request.getURI() and request.getURL() methods?

I'm not entirely sure what the difference is between a uri and url?

Thanks

Please be sure to take the time to compose descriptive subjects for your posts. You will attract people who will can give you better and faster answers when your posts have good, descriptive subjects. For more information, please click this link ⇒ UseAMeaningfulSubjectLine.

Using a title of "servlets" in a forum completely dedicated to questions on Servlets isn't going to attract the attention of those who can best help you.

I have changed the subject to one that's more suitable; please use it as an example for future posts.

Please see the JavaDoc for HttpServletRequest (⇐ that's a link). It will explain what each method does.
