HttpServletRequest.getRequestURI() does not provide the unparsed URI. 1) It does not include the query string 2) You cannot tell if the URL has a question mark in it, if there is no query string (e.g. http://foo/bar? And http://foo/bar look the same). 3) You cannot tell if the session ID came from the URL or a cookie.
