actuall name of url (index.htm, default.asp)

[Saeed]

Hello All.
I want to get actaul name of url.
example:
http://www.w3schools.com/
is
http://www.w3scholls.com/default.asp
but I can not get it.
for some sites I get Using ""Indy""
IdHTTP.Response.ExtraHeaders.Values['Content-Location']

How can do it?
Thank you.

I'm sorry, but this is not possible. You aren't acessing a file but a
ressource and only the server can know how this ressource is genetated
(whter is is rom a static file, a database methode, a remote system, a
dynamic page, etc.).

This also counts for the directory default.

Good luck,
Stephane

Simple answer: You can't

More complex answer: This is dependent on the server configuration. When
you require a directory (URL ending with "/") the web server shows
whatever it is configured to return. It could be a html-file, the
contents of the requested directory, error message or whatever. There is
definetly _no_way_ of telling what is coming unless you've explicitly
stated what document you want (and you have the rights to get that
document (and a couple of other things)).

You don't really need the "real" document name for that, the URL should be
enough.

Good luck,
