Environment variables

Can anyone help me to find out the syntax to access the environment variable that has the site domain? Maybe HTTP_HOST? i have tried to find documentation on how to access such a variable, but with no luck. Can someone help me (even if it is just pointing me in the right direction for searching)? Thanks, Tolstoy

The three biggies are - params - response - session

I think you will find HTTP stuff in response (just do a 'puts response.inspect')...

This is a request thing, isn't it?

I'd look in request.env, and possibly ENV.

I was able to get the effect that I was after by using the following in an rhtml file:   http://<%= request.server_name %>:<%= request.server_port %>/ This seems like a hack though. By inspecting <%= debug(request.env) %> I can see that "HTTP_HOST" has the info that i am after, I just haven't found a way to access that variable in an rhtml file.
