Question

Here is my code:

class MainHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler):
    def get(self):
        self.write(self.request.url)

def main():
    settings = {"template_path": "html","static_path": "static"}
    tornado.options.parse_command_line()
    application = tornado.web.Application([
       (r"/story/page1", MainHandler),
        ],**settings)

I want to get the string "/story/page1". how ?

Answer 1

You can get current url inside RequestHandler using self.request.uri:

class MainHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler):
    def get(self):
        self.write(self.request.uri)

Answer 2

I think what you're looking for is self.request.path. Look at the functions available for HTTPServerRequest.

class MainHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler):
    def get(self):
        self.write(self.request.path)
