Just to clarify:

The URI that the client requested is only the path; they do not give a
full absolute URI on the "GET" (or "POST", or whatever method) line.
Therefore the "same URI the client requested" is really request.uri.

If you need an absolute URI, you'll have to construct it, perhaps
using the "Host" header sent by the client, or perhaps using a
pre-configured hostname setting in your application.
