Neil,
That did the trick.

HTTPRequest.get_server() does a self.environ.get("HTTP_HOST") to grab the
hostname. rather than override this though I'm just building the absolute URL
from scratch:

ADDR = request.get_environ('SERVER_ADDR')+
request.get_environ('SCRIPT_NAME')+'/'

and then pulling 'top-level' urls out of a dictionary (actually from an RDF
triplestore) as such:

        for key in url_dict1.keys():
            ''
            key
            ''
            '
'

That explained allot of things.
Thank you very much,
Karl N. Redman
