Yup. Hehe, kinda simple. Didnt find anything in-depth, but there was 
enough in what I think most call the pickaxe. http://www.ruby-doc.org/docs/
ProgrammingRuby/html/web.html (see code example at the end of "Using 
Eruby").

What I wanted was to see what URI was requested, the bit after the domain, 
ie.:

<% puts ENV["REQUEST_URI"] %>

Now, if I only could figure out how to redirect *all* requests to one and 
the same .rhtml in the site root without actually rewriting the url user 
sees... Already caused a few infinite redirect loops 8)
