Get URL info

Question

I am building a file that will called a stored function in my DB, passing dynamic emp info to the function. P
ie.
select 'http://server1.test.org:9000/pls/apex/#OWNER#.sis_express_base.display_student_picture?l_fk_student_id=' || B.FK_STU_BASE
from stu_base B
What I don't want to do is hard-code my server info in the URL ''http://server1.test.org:9000/'. I want to grab that based on the the URL info from page I am currently on. Is there anyway to do that?

Your talking about doing something like this:
'http://' || owa_util.get_cgi_env('http_host')
|| '/'
|| owa_util.get_cgi_env('script_name')
|| '/'
|| owa_util.get_cgi_env('path_info')
|| '/'
|| owa_util.get_cgi_env('query_string')
Is there a way to get everything at once?What webserver are you using? If Apache, then you might be able to use SetEnv to create a new CGI env var that contains exactly what you want since it doesn't exist by default... http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_env.html#setenv
Then you need to use PlsqlCGIEnvironmentList to access it from owa_util...
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B14117_01/server.101/b12255/confmods.htm#1028003
For example there is already an variable called REQUEST_URI that gets you closer to what you want. You'd need to add the following to your dads.conf to access it...
PlsqlCGIEnvironmentList     REQUEST_URI
Update: SetEnv can't do it either as it only lets you set a variable for the entire instance, not per request. Just concatenate or otherwise you could try SetEnvIf or mod_rewrite has a thing apparently too which looks even more promising and even more fandangled.
