I've been looking in the Pyramid API and haven't been able to find a method that allows me to extract the url in the user's address bar, specifically including the query strings. Is there a method I keep skimming across?
http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid/dev/api/request.html
It sounds like you just want request.url
which is whatever the user typed in the address bar.
request.GET
is a dictionary of key/values in the query string.
request.POST
is a dictionary of key/values in the request body.
request.params
is a dictionary of the combination of both.
This might be better explained in the webob documentation, which is effectively what Pyramid is using for its request and response objects.
