Niphlod, Antony: Thanks for your prompt replies.
I can see that request.application will function correctly as web2py will
still handle a URL beginning with the application name even if I have used
routes.py to default to this application, Doing it this way does mean that
I would end up with the application name in some of my URLs, and if I use
the html base element approach then URLs all over the place would end up
getting the application name in them. This seems to negate the benefit of
using routes to hide the application name, except for the initial request
to the domain name, which is unfortunate. I was hoping to keep that
benefit, but I think I will have to manage without it.
