Hi
I could be wrong but I don't think you can?

Well sort of, you could try a free forwarding service like kick.to this gives you an address of kick.to/name

name can be what u like

Im sure I read somewhere that you can hide the actual address by using the IP number instad of the address but I can't remember how.
Anyhow, may b some use, may b not?

Actually, piece o cake...

Dang, someone has me ASP book.

Anyway, there is a page/url object of some type, else it property of one of the objects in model. This will essenrially give the url as string.

Then simply find ".com\" position and take rest o' string as result in string manips functions.

Maybe problem:

www.whatever.com\derek\qball\derek\qball

What should string manips return?
