No, I'd like to pass the called file to the servlet which regonize the 
request...

This is my flow

Browser is pointed to http://localhost/filter/filter1.fd

As my Servlet ist mounted to /filter he regonize the request and thats 
the part I'd like to implement -> now the servlet should look up the 
filter to use (here filter1.fd) and should parse this filter file for 
directives which controll the output.

So I've to extract the filename from the request_uri. The way I went 
today is to call

filterName = req.request_uri.to_s.scan(/\w+\.fd/)

My question was if there is another possible better ruby way or variable 
included with webrick to accomplish this task.
