Hello, I set up several HTTP In nodes with different URLs, such as /check-state, /check-location, etc. Is there a variable to get this URL (ie `/check-state` or just `check-state`) so I can use it as a parameter in subsequent nodes? I know the alternative (which works) is to use URL parameters. Thank you.

It will be somewhere under `msg.req` - not near a computer to look for you

Thanks, will do some investigation starting there.

follow-up\>\>\> `req.url` gave me the URL.
