which variable captures the URL being requested

[csgonan]

I want to grab the URL that a user requested in the vhost section of httpd.conf and check if they are requesting the specific vhost site. I see REQUEST_URI is the portion after the site name, and I thought about setenvif referrer but that is not what site they entered.

I want to capture it and then use it in a mod_rewrite condition.

Thanks

I was playing around with another post I have on rewriting and I want to know if HTTP_HOST is the site being requested?

For example, if the user goes to

http://www.site.com,

in an htaccess file in DocumentRoot I was going to check if they had actually requested that vhost or just came there cause it was the only 443 site. So I was going to use HTTP_HOST in a RewriteCond statement.

Is that the variable that corresponds to the URL requested?

thanks

HTTP_HOST is the server responding to the request.
