    Trouble with client GET request path

    When I read in the the client's GET request into my server, I store the path of the file which they would like to my path variable. Now if I am the client and use my web browser to contact the server I am using the syntax "http://localhost:3099/temp.html". But when my server gets the request and saves the path variable it is also saving the '/' along with the 'temp.html' when it is read in. How would I go about alleviating this issue. Thanks.

    The client *always* sends a / as first character of a URL (when there's no hostname). So what issue are you talking about?
    If you want to remove the slash, just ignore it.
