self.path has a part of it. it is not necessarily possible to
find out the full url the user agent was trying to access
since in http 1.0 the "host" header was optional. but newer
user agents include a "host:" header in the request.

look at self.raw_requestline and self.headers (mimetools & rfc822
module docs explain what you can do with this - self.headers.headers
has a simple list)
