That's exactly my problem. I am writing utility classes that need  
this information but may operate outside of a R-R-Loop. Ideally I'd  
like to have this info globally available in MyApplication either as  
a public static String var or method(). Can I simply create a  
WORequest object out of the blue in the application constructor and  
it will work? When a WO app starts it prints the application front  
door URL to the console. So the app knows it but there is no request  
yet. There are a couple of URL related methods in WOApplication but  
none gives what I need (eg directConnectUrl() webServerConnectUrl())

Thanks for your help
