I want to dynamically output the hosts url - e.g. "http:/
www.myurl.com/" using a JSTL tag.
I tried several things, but didn't get it to work. I read the J2EE API
and found request.getRemoteHost()  which might be what I need  (not
sure, because on my local pc it returns 127.0.0.1 istead of
"localhost"), however,

<c:out value="${remoteHost}"/>

did not work.

Any idea what's wrong?

More info:

Hi, I want to create a link to send the current url by email. However,
I am also using urlrewrite, so I cannot take the real url. Therefore I
have a parameter "currentUrl" that gives me the current url - however
I don't want to statically include the host's adress, I would like to
add it dynamically, so it must be something like:
<c:out value="${remoteHost}"/><c:out value="${currentUrl}"/>

Thanks in advance,

Christine
